Cart-Power Add-On: Live Search

The latest version of this add-on is very good, I use it on my store. No bugs which makes me happy. Would like to suggest you update it to support the new product variations as we are supposed to move away from product options apparently.

So if I have a variation of a speaker, in color white and black. (2 products linked together by varation) this search add-on will treat it like it does for options.

Would like to suggest you update it to support the new product variations as we are supposed to move away from product options apparently.

I don't believe product options are going away. However, 'option combinations' have indeed been replaced with 'variations'. But options better be here to stay.

For years I've been using the Quick Search addon from Alt Team and been happy with it. However, it recently stopped working properly, but the developers are not answering support tickets and the addon seems to have been abandoned.

Cart-Power's Live Search is a worthy alternative...I may even like it better. Purchase and installation of the addon was seamless and quick. I did have a minor issue which turned out to be a conflict between the addon and the Vivashop theme, but they fixed it and have added the fix to the addon code so it won't return when I update.

Overall very impressed with this add on and its developer, Cart-Power!

I bought and installed this add-on and it works very well but I would like to be able to customize the font size (especially the price) to the displayed results, maybe in the next version.

You can probably just use a simple css line.

Hi,

How do I traslate the text on the category field that on the right of the search box? I cannot seem to manage to edit the text from the Edit Text, Edit On Site nor I cannot find anything on the block to translate.

Did you try languages -> translations? Would be the obvious place.
