AI Search for WooCommerce makes your store’s search actually work. When a shopper types “summer blue dress” they find your “light cotton navy sundress”. When they search “headphones for running” they find your sweat-resistant wireless earbuds — even if the word “running” isn’t anywhere in the product description.
Default WooCommerce search matches keywords. AI Search matches meaning. It reads your entire product catalog — titles, descriptions, SKUs, categories, tags, and attributes — and converts each product into a vector that captures what it actually is. When a shopper searches, the plugin finds the closest matches by meaning, not by exact word overlap.
The result: fewer empty search pages, more products surfaced for long-tail queries, and shoppers who find what they wanted on the first try.
Also works with blog posts, pages, and any custom post type — so you can use the same intelligent search across your whole site.
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>WooCommerce Product Search: Full product catalog indexing — titles, short and long descriptions, SKUs, categories, tags, and product attributes (size, color, material, etc.). Pre-configured defaults so you can go live in minutes.</li>
<li>Understands Shoppers, Not Just Keywords: Semantic search means “cozy winter sweater” matches your “merino wool pullover”. Long-tail and descriptive queries stop returning empty pages.</li>
<li>Cross-Lingual & Multilingual: Works with 100+ languages — Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Greek, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and more. International stores get consistent search quality across every language, and an English query can still match content in other languages.</li>
<li>SKU & Attribute Matching: Customers can search by SKU fragments, attribute values, or technical specs and still find the right product.</li>
<li>Smart Fallback System: 4-tier fallback ensures shoppers never hit a zero-result page — if AI search finds nothing, standard WordPress search takes over automatically.</li>
<li>No OpenAI Account Required: Uses our free embedding service (up to 10,000 embeddings per site). Works out of the box for most stores.</li>
<li>Bring Your Own API Key: Optionally use your own OpenAI API key for unlimited indexing.</li>
<li>Bulk Embedding Generation: Index your entire existing catalog in one click, filtered by post type or category.</li>
<li>Quota Management: Real-time monitoring of AI service usage and limits (v1.14.0+).</li>
<li>Works Beyond Products Too: Same intelligent search for blog posts, pages, and any public custom post type.</li>
<li>ACF Compatible: Index Advanced Custom Fields data for deeper product metadata search.</li>
<li>Tunable Similarity Threshold: Fine-tune how strict or broad search results are, per store.</li>
<li>Intelligent Caching: Fast results with automatic local caching.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Perfect For</h3>
<ul>
<li>WooCommerce stores with large or varied product catalogs</li>
<li>Fashion & apparel stores where shoppers describe products in their own words (“something flowy for summer”)</li>
<li>Electronics & home goods stores with complex technical specs and model numbers</li>
<li>Books, media, and marketplaces with thousands of titles</li>
<li>International stores selling in multiple languages</li>
<li>Membership sites, knowledge bases, and directories — any content-heavy WordPress site</li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<ol>
<li>Each product in your WooCommerce catalog is converted into a numeric “meaning fingerprint” (called an embedding) that captures its title, description, SKU, categories, tags, and attributes.</li>
<li>When a shopper types a search query, their query gets its own fingerprint in the same way.</li>
<li>The plugin compares the query’s fingerprint against every product’s fingerprint and returns the closest matches by meaning — not just by word overlap.</li>
<li>Results are ranked by relevance, so the products shoppers actually want appear first.</li>
<li>If no semantic matches pass the threshold, a 4-tier fallback kicks in so shoppers never hit an empty results page.</li>
</ol>
Embeddings are generated automatically when you publish or update products — no manual work after setup.

AI Search for WooCommerce – Intelligent Product Search


Love the idea and the implementation. I'll be using this more and more on all of our Woo sites.


Works like a charm

Queryra is an AI search plugin for WooCommerce and WordPress — a semantic search 
engine that understands what customers mean, not just what they type.
Your customer types “present for my girlfriend”. Your WooCommerce store returns: 
0 results.
You sell gift boxes, perfumes, skincare sets — exactly what she’d love. But default 
WooCommerce search can’t connect “present for girlfriend” to “Gift Box”.
Your customer leaves. Sale lost. This happens every day.
👉 <a href="https://woo.queryra.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Try AI Search live → WooCommerce demo store</a> — 
200+ products across 10 brands. Search naturally and see the difference.
<h4>What is AI Search for WooCommerce?</h4>
AI Search replaces WooCommerce’s default product search with semantic search that 
understands meaning. Your products stay the same. Your store stays the same. 
Search just works.
Trusted compatibility: 
Oxygen Builder, Breakdance, Meta Box, TranslatePress, Weglot, MemberPress, B2BKing, and more.
Default WooCommerce search → 0 results: 
❌ “my skin looks tired” 
❌ “gift for mom who loves candles” 
❌ “looking older than my age”
Same store with AI Search → products found: 
✅ “my skin looks tired” → Night creams, recovery oils, eye patches 
✅ “gift for mom who loves candles” → Scented candles, home fragrance sets 
✅ “looking older than my age” → Anti-aging serums, firming creams
<h4>Beyond Semantic Search</h4>
AI Search goes further than vector search alone. A natural language query like 
“wireless headphones under $80, not Beats” applies the price filter AND excludes 
the brand automatically. No other WooCommerce AI search plugin does this. 
AI Search works as an AI product search engine for WooCommerce — handling 
intent-aware queries, ChatGPT-style natural language, and B2B wholesale 
bulk search. Powered by vector embeddings and LLM intent parsing.
<h4>AI Search Compatible Plugins</h4>
Queryra has confirmed integrations and tested compatibility with leading WordPress plugins:

<h4>AI Search for Page Builders & Custom Fields</h4>
Page builder content used to be invisible to WordPress search. Queryra fixes this 
— AI search now reads everything your visitors see:
<ul>
<li>Elementor AI search — indexes content stored in <code>_elementor_data</code>, including 
text widgets, headings, and product descriptions built with Elementor</li>
<li>Beaver Builder & Breakdance — full content extraction from saved layouts</li>
<li>Oxygen Builder — both legacy shortcode mode and modern JSON v2 supported</li>
<li>Gutenberg / WPBakery / Divi — native support (content already in post_content)</li>
</ul>
<h4>AI Search for Custom Fields & Taxonomies</h4>
Most product data lives in custom fields, not the post content. Queryra reads it 
automatically:
<ul>
<li>ACF (Free + Pro) — text, textarea, WYSIWYG, repeaters, and groups indexed 
without configuration</li>
<li>Meta Box — text fields and group fields via the official registry</li>
<li>Custom taxonomies — <code>book_genre</code>, <code>material</code>, <code>property_type</code>, or any public 
custom taxonomy is sent to the AI search index, keyed by slug</li>
<li>Pods, JetEngine, Bricks Builder — supported via developer filter 
queryra_indexable_meta_content</li>
</ul>
Smart filtering automatically excludes CSS values, hex colors, URLs, and dates 
from the semantic search index — keeping AI relevance high.
<h4>Make Your Store Discoverable by AI</h4>
AI Search doesn’t just help your customers — it helps AI assistants find your store. 
Queryra automatically generates structured data and AI-readable files so ChatGPT, 
Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude can recommend your products.
<ul>
<li>Dynamic /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt for AI crawlers</li>
<li>JSON-LD structured data on search pages</li>
<li>X-Search-Engine header for AI attribution</li>
</ul>
Want extra visibility?
<ul>
<li>Partner Program — qualifying sites can apply for Queryra at no cost. See <a href="https://queryra.com/blog/partner-program-pro-for-free?utm_source=b9f1ce71" rel="nofollow ugc">Partner Program details</a>.</li>
<li>Site promotion — your site gets featured on queryra.com and promoted across AI search platforms</li>
</ul>
<h4>WordPress 7.0 Connectors API & Abilities API</h4>
Queryra is a native WordPress 7.0 AI search connector. After activation, Queryra 
appears in Settings → Connectors alongside OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google — 
giving site owners a unified place to manage AI search configuration.
<ul>
<li>Connectors API — Queryra registers as an AI search connector. Manage your 
Queryra API key from the standard WordPress 7.0 Connectors screen.</li>
<li>Abilities API — Queryra exposes <code>queryra/semantic-search</code> as a discoverable 
ability. AI agents, chatbots, and assistants running on WordPress 7.0 can call 
Queryra natively for semantic product search.</li>
<li>Backward compatible — Queryra works on WordPress 5.8+. Connector and ability 
features activate automatically on WordPress 7.0 and newer.</li>
</ul>
Queryra is one of the early AI semantic search plugins to register as a 
WordPress 7.0 connector — making API key management consistent with other 
AI providers in Settings → Connectors.

<h4>WooCommerce Product Search Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Natural Language Search – Customers type like they think, AI search finds 
what they need</li>
<li>WooCommerce Product Search – Indexes titles, descriptions, SKUs, categories, 
tags, and attributes</li>
<li>Semantic Search Ranking – AI ranks results by meaning, not alphabetical order</li>
<li>Boost Controls – Promote products you want to sell more of</li>
<li>Live Product Search – Instant AJAX-powered suggestions as customers type</li>
<li>Auto-Sync – New WooCommerce products indexed automatically on publish</li>
<li>Smart Context Detection – AI search activates on WooCommerce shop pages 
automatically</li>
<li>Search Analytics – See what customers search for, including zero-result 
queries</li>
<li>Page Builder Support – Indexes content from Elementor, Beaver Builder, Breakdance, Oxygen automatically</li>
<li>Custom Field Indexing – Reads ACF and Meta Box custom fields out of the box</li>
</ul>
<h4>WooCommerce Product Search Works With Any Store</h4>
<ul>
<li>Beauty & Skincare – “my skin looks tired” finds night creams</li>
<li>Fashion – “something for a summer wedding” finds dresses</li>
<li>Electronics – “good laptop for video editing” finds the right specs</li>
<li>Home & Garden – “cozy living room” finds rugs, lamps, pillows</li>
<li>Food & Beverage – “healthy snacks for kids” finds the right products</li>
</ul>
<h4>Semantic Search for WordPress Content</h4>
Queryra’s semantic search also works with regular WordPress content — posts, pages, 
and custom post types. Well-suited for knowledge bases, blogs, and FAQ sections.
<h4>AI Search for B2B and Wholesale Stores</h4>
AI Search includes native B2BKing integration starting from version 1.4.1. 
The bulk order form’s keyword search is replaced with semantic AI product 
search — your B2B buyers find products by intent, not just exact SKUs or 
names. Wholesale-specific use cases supported:
<ul>
<li>“warm jackets for winter — bulk order”</li>
<li>“shirts in cotton, breathable, wholesale pricing”</li>
<li>“keychains and accessories — high quantity”</li>
</ul>
B2B visibility rules (group restrictions, per-product permissions, 
category-level access) are fully respected. Works for B2BKing, B2BWoo, and 
manual B2B WooCommerce setups.
<h4>Why Replace Default WooCommerce Search?</h4>
Default WooCommerce product search matches exact words. If your product is “Velora 
Overnight Recovery Oil” and someone types “my skin looks tired”, they get nothing. 
AI search fixes that — customers find products even with vague or natural language 
queries.
<h4>Why Queryra vs Other WooCommerce Product Search Plugins?</h4>
No OpenAI Account Required — Queryra includes its own search backend, so 
you don’t need to create a separate OpenAI account or manage external API keys.
Indexed on YOUR WooCommerce Store — Queryra learns from YOUR products, 
descriptions, and categories — not generic global data.
Intent-Aware AI Search — Most semantic search plugins only match meaning. 
Queryra goes further: “wireless headphones under $80, not Beats” applies the price 
filter AND excludes the brand. Vector-only plugins ignore both. 
<a href="https://queryra.com/blog/beyond-vector-search-woocommerce?utm_source=b9f1ce71" rel="nofollow ugc">Why vector search isn’t enough →</a>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
Queryra is built with privacy in mind. This section explains exactly what 
data leaves your WordPress site, what stays local, and how you stay in 
control as the store owner.
<h4>What Queryra sends to the API</h4>
Content indexing (posts, pages, products): 
For every published item of the post types you enable (default: posts and 
pages; optionally products), Queryra sends:
<ul>
<li>Title, content, excerpt (HTML stripped)</li>
<li>Post type, permalink, featured image URL</li>
<li>Categories and tags (names only)</li>
<li>For WooCommerce products: price, stock quantity, SKU, brand, short description, product attributes (e.g. Color, Size)</li>
<li>Featured/sticky flag (used to boost ranking of highlighted content)</li>
</ul>
That’s it. This is the same data your site already shows publicly on the 
frontend — Queryra does not read private posts, drafts, or protected content.
Search queries: 
When a visitor types in your search box, only the query text is sent to the 
API. The API returns matching post IDs, which WordPress then renders 
normally from your own database.
Anonymous usage analytics: 
On plugin activation and deactivation, Queryra sends: a randomly generated 
instance UUID (stored locally, no link to any user), WordPress version, 
PHP version, plugin version, WooCommerce active flag, and counts of posts, 
pages and products. This helps us prioritize compatibility fixes. You can 
disable this entirely by adding the following line to your wp-config.php:
<pre><code>define('QUERYRA_DISABLE_ANALYTICS', true);
</code></pre>
<h4>What Queryra NEVER sends</h4>
<ul>
<li>No visitor IP addresses</li>
<li>No user agents or browser fingerprints</li>
<li>No cookies or session identifiers</li>
<li>No customer accounts, emails, or order data</li>
<li>No browsing history or behavior tracking</li>
<li>No personally identifiable information (PII) about searchers or customers</li>
<li>No private, draft, password-protected or unpublished content</li>
</ul>
<h4>Your control as a store owner</h4>
<ul>
<li>Choose which post types are indexed (Settings → Queryra)</li>
<li>Disable AI search anytime — WordPress falls back to native search</li>
<li>Deactivate the plugin to stop all data transmission</li>
<li>Delete indexed records from the Queryra dashboard</li>
</ul>
<h4>Security</h4>
Queryra is publicly tracked by independent security and quality services:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wpscan.com/plugin/queryra-ai-search" rel="nofollow ugc">WPScan vulnerability database</a></li>
<li><a href="https://plugintests.com/plugins/wporg/queryra-ai-search/latest" rel="nofollow ugc">PluginTests static analysis and smoke tests</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/GronRafal/queryra-wordpress-plugin" rel="nofollow ugc">Source code on GitHub</a></li>
</ul>
No third-party frontend scripts: Queryra loads only its own minimal 
stylesheet on public pages. No external JavaScript, no tracking pixels, 
no third-party CDN requests on the frontend.
