The fastest and the most feature-rich search for your online store.

 

The Live Search add-on is a free-of-a-monthly-fee alternative to cloud search services.

 

Clustering caching system provides maximum search speed in stores with a large number of products.

 

The search history will help to analyse the search activity in your store, add suggestions and recommendations displayed in the search results, and get rid of the zero search results.

 

Customizable look and feel of the Live Search will make the search simple and convenient, and your clients will see only relevant search results thanks to the fine search conditions tuning.

 

Cart-Power “Live Search” - Product search is easy.

 

What the Live Search Add-on does

 

Not just searches products but pushes the customer to purchase.

 

• An animation in the search bar motivates to enter a search query.

 

 

• When you enter a search query, the Suggestions with possible search queries are shown.

• 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.

 

Makes the search results more relevant to the clients request:

 

• Can search by all textual data about 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).

• Searches by words or phrases.

• Suggests corrected spelling of the search request if no products found, and there are no search phrases set for the query.

 

 

• 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 for products to exclude product from search.

• Setting priorities for search results allows you to flexibly customize how search results are displayed.

 

Makes the life of the 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 / export stop words 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.

This add-on is a great alternative to Searchings’ however it missing some important features such as “Stop Words”, where users can add stop words to products they don’t want to appear in search results under certain keywords.

For instance I have 100 products named “bigman” and other products named “man”, so every time customers search for “man”; the “bigman” products also show up in search results. So my customers getting irrelevant search results.

Dear Cart-Power, please consider to add this function in the next release – I will be more then happy to pay again for upgrade.

We will consider to include this feature in add-on. If you need add this function in the nearest time, we can offer you to perform it as custom development.

Does the add-on also makes it possible to search on the custom-made features items (same as used in te filter). Currently it is not possible to display items based on the names or numbers from the features allocated to the product

It is possible to configure search by short description, full description, keywords, product code. Do you mean ability to choose these options for customers?

[nalbertus]

in the admin I can go to products --> features and add a new feature. For example I have a winestore and one of the features is "year". 2010, 2011, 2012 etc.

I can use the feature as a filter. But the search option in cs-cart does not search bij features.So if I search on 2010 which is allocated to a product it will not find the product. Am I right? The only option I have is to put the featues of every product in the keywords bar of the product.

Does your add-onn makes it possible to configurated it to also include the features of the product in the search results

Thank you for the explanation. Unfortunately, there is no such ability in current version. But we can add it for you as custom development. Please, email us if you are interested in it.

Thanks, Cart-Power.

I will wait for the next release, i hope you will consider this in short time so more people will enjoy this addon.

I agree, it will save us tons of time if we can search by product "Options" as well, rather than include those keywords from options. If the search results can also include "images" of product options then this will help as well in terms of accessibility.
