<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Who it’s for</h2>
<p>Ajax-Enabled, Enhanced Layered Navigation is built for stores with big or complex catalogs where customers need powerful filters to find the right product fast.

<p>With support for color swatches, size selectors, and checkboxes, it turns attributes into intuitive filters that reduce friction and speed up the path to purchase.</p>
<p>Here are some examples of who benefits most:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-secondary">

Ajax-Enabled Enhanced Layered Navigation

<p>Give your customers faster, more intuitive product filtering with Ajax-powered layered navigation. Replace boring text links with swatches, size selectors, and checkboxes, making it easy for shoppers to find and filter exactly what they want without reloading the page.</p>

<h2>Help your customers find what they’re looking for – <em>fast</em></h2>
<p><strong>WooCommerce Product Finder</strong> adds an advanced, fully configurable search form to your site, helping customers zero in on the perfect product using filters that <em>actually make sense</em>. If your WooCommerce store has dozens (or thousands) of products, a basic search bar won’t cut it. Customers bounce when they can’t find the right product quickly and <em>every second</em> counts.</p>
<h2>Advanced product search, without the bloat</h2>
<p>This isn’t your average search bar. Product Finder lets you build a smart, multi-layered search experience by combining:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Attribute filters</strong> (like size, color, brand)</li>
<li><strong>Product categories</strong></li>
<li><strong>Text search</strong></li>
<li><strong>A handy price slider</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>It’s everything your customers expect from a modern ecommerce site—and exactly what they need to find what they came for.</p>

 </p>
<h2>Tailor the search experience to your catalog</h2>
<p>Whether you’re selling fashion, food, furniture, or figurines, Product Finder adapts to your needs.</p>
<p>In your WooCommerce settings, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Choose which <strong>product categories</strong> and <strong>global attributes</strong> are available for filtering</li>
<li>Pick a <strong>default filter</strong> to pre-select when the form loads</li>
<li>Customize the behavior for each form with shortcode or template overrides</li>
</ul>
<p>And you don’t need to touch a single line of code unless you want to.</p>
<h2>Display advanced product search anywhere</h2>
<p>You can embed the Product Finder in four flexible ways – each one supports parameters so you can override the default settings as needed.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Widget</strong></li>
<li><strong>Shortcode</strong></li>
<li><strong>Template Tag</strong></li>
<li><strong>Action Hook</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Looking for blocks support? Please let us know – we’re actively tracking interest!</p>
<h2>Works great out of the box</h2>
<ul>
<li>Fully translatable (works with WPML, Polylang, etc.)</li>
<li>Designed to match your existing theme styles</li>
<li>Lightweight, fast, and doesn’t require indexing or extra search infrastructure</li>
</ul>
<h2>Let your customers search like they mean it</h2>
<p>If your catalog is more than a few pages long, your customers need better tools to find what they want. Product Finder is easy to set up, plays nicely with WooCommerce, and gives you full control over the search experience.</p>
