According to several usability studies, 85% of users who access an e-commerce store go straight to the search form. If they cannot find it and search for the products they want to buy, most of them will abandon the site after a few seconds.

If you already have a search form on your website, but it does not work properly or suggests irrelevant products, the same will happen: they will abandon your shop and you will lose those sales.

With the latest version of YITH WooCommerce AJAX Search, in just a few minutes, you can set up a modern and usable search form in WooCommerce that’s designed to deliver effective results consistently, search after search.

The new version of the plugin is powerful, flexible, and easy to configure. You can place your search form anywhere using the built-in block or shortcode, customize its style and colors, and, most importantly, set a tolerance threshold to find results even if there are some typos in the text.

Go ahead, install the plugin and in just a few clicks you’ll have your customers searching and quickly finding the products they are interested in.

Features of the free version:

• Insert the search form using the Gutenberg block

• Choose the size of the search form
