Yandex.Speller was integrated to check spelling in the search queries. If the search returns no results and the search phrases for the query are not set, the corrected word variants will be shown.
Categories in the search results
Separate section for categories and the ability to show the category path added.

Ability to Show Brands in the Search Results
Redesigned Search History
Analytics has become much easier. We divided the Search History into 3 sections:
-
All search history
Use this data to analyze search queries on your site.
-
Grouped phrases
There you can see a list of the most frequent search queries in your store. If you see many requests for a product that you do not sell, you can consider to start selling it.
-
Product clicks
The summary table shows the products, the total number of clicks for each product and the list of clickable search phrases.
Breakdown of search queries clicks see on the product details page:
Products > Products > [Product_name] > Search by Product tab
Why is it useful? Bring products with higher conversion requests to the home page. Analyze why some products have low click-through rates and correct them. So you can increase sales.
Ability to Enable/Disable Search History Recording
In the previous version it was enabled by default and there was no option to disable it.
Cache Generation Mechanism was Improved (for Large Stores)
In the previous version only one common cache table was generated for the Live search. Now a separate cache table is generated for each language used on the storefront. As a result, the number of rows in each table reduces. The add-on will check the storefront language and will search through one single table instead of all database tables. It takes less time to process such a request.
Ability to speed up search in the stores with large product databases
The Search is accelerated by indexing the beginnings of words and limiting the number of fields that are searched through.
Ability to Search by Vendor (Multi-Vendor)
Enables search by the Vendor name field. All products of the Vendor will appear in the search results. Works in Multi-Vendor edition only.
Price is 79 USD
