What the Live Search Add-on Does

Not just searches products but guides the customer to a purchase

An animation in the search bar motivates to enter a search query;
When you start entering a search query, it shows the Suggestions with possible variants for the ending of the search query;
The Featured products section in the search results increases the chance to sell them;
The Add to cart / Add to comparison list / Add to wish list buttons right in the search results reduce the number of steps to the purchase;
For products with options, instead of adding to the cart, a preview window opens to select options;
It shows common products of vendors as one product or separate products of different vendors (in CS-Cart Multi-Vendor edition).

Improves overall search performance

Offers corrected suggestions for misspelled search queries thanks to integration with Yandex.Speller service;
Understands synonyms (saved synonyms, word spellings, abbreviations) and can start searching them without waiting for the whole word to be entered;
Can ignore certain symbols/characters in search queries. For example, you can ignore quotes (“”) in the request.

Makes the search results more relevant to the clients request:

Can search by all textual data fields of a product (Name, Short description, Full description, Meta keywords, Options, Features, Languages, Search words, Stop words, Product code, Meta description, Price, Time of creation, Status, Popularity , Product code for combinations of options, Vendor name);
Can search not only by products, but also by store pages, Blog and Power Blog articles (Cart-Power: Power Blog add-on);
Searches by words or phrases;
6 variants for sorting products in the search results (by date of creation, popularity, priority fields, price Low to High, price High to Low, product name A-Z);
Stop words functionality for products, to exclude product from the search results;
Setting priorities for search results allows you to flexibly customize the order in which search results are displayed.

Makes the life of the store administrator easier

Automatically caches changes when you create / update / delete products;
Records search history for analysis and work on bugs;
Can automatically generate search suggestions from the search history;
Import of search phrases and synonyms for search in CSV format;
Export of search history, search phrases and synonyms for search in CSV format;
Separate page and CRON script for generating the Live Search cache on a schedule;
Access restrictions for user groups to view and manage Live search.

Saves your server resources

You can set a Search delay - giving your client time to type in a search phrase;
Uses Ajax technology (sends only one request after the buyer completes entering the search phrase).

Increases search speed

Use of the Cache;
Index the product data (for the stores with a large product database only);
The search request is sent automatically when the buyer completes the search phrase;
You can disable search by full and short descriptions to speed up the search.

Fits your website design

Choose elements to include in the search results: product images, product code, new and old price, taxes, categories, brands, suggestions, featured products;
Set colors for the elements so that they do not stand out from the design of your site;
In the CS-Cart Multi-Vendor Ultimate version the settings are divided by storefronts - you can customize each store separately.

This add-on is great. The company even did custom development for me to work with common products. They were responsive and clear about the work they were going to perform.

We did have a little mixup in emails but the company handled it well and went out of there way to make up for the mixup. Quick and extremely accommodating. Definitely, recommend using Cart Power.

It runs as promised. I like speed, many options and no problem installation. Go for it if you want to improve customer experience of your site.

Использую модуль в двух магазинах. Классный и удобный. Поиск не тормозит и функционален. Спасибо. Реально удобно пользоваться.

Andrey 25 Jan 2017, 17:25

Используем данный модуль в нашем интернет-магазине спортивных товаров ReAktivsport.ru - https://reaktivsport.ru/
Работает хорошо, документация есть, в админке можно видеть то, что пользователи искали.
В общем, рекомендую!

Arman 21 Dec 2016, 22:51

Очень хороший и полезный модуль.
Я уверен, что эта функция поиска должна быть на любом сайте, особенно в интернет магазине.

Purchased the Live Search add on for our CScart. Ran into issues with installing, because our theme is so custom. Contacted support immediately and got support instantly!!

Ruslan (the support tech) was able to get the add on working very quickly. Great customer service! Great tech support! and a Great product!

We are very pleased with the performance of Live Search, far better than Searchanise which we used prior to this installation.

Thank you to Ruslan and the entire Cart Power team!
