AI product search for WooCommerce
Search with AI for WooCommerce
Give shoppers a faster way to find products. Customers can type natural requests like "orange Nike running shoes", use optional image search, and land on your existing WooCommerce results flow.
Shortcode setup
Native results
Image search
Text fallback
Natural-language search
Shoppers describe what they want instead of guessing exact product keywords.
Deep catalog matching
Titles, descriptions, SKU, categories, tags, attributes, variations, and SEO fields.
Provider choice
Use OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or an OpenAI-compatible custom provider.
Theme friendly
Keep your theme product cards, filters, sorting, and pagination by default.
Why stores use it
Better product discovery without rebuilding your shop.
Search with AI adds a smart discovery layer to WooCommerce while respecting the store structure you already have. It can enhance intent understanding with AI, but basic text search still works through local fallback matching.
Search with a product photo
Let shoppers upload an image to find the same or similar products when a configured vision-capable AI model is available.
Search more catalog fields
Index product names, short and full descriptions, SKU, categories, tags, attributes, variation details, image metadata, and supported Rank Math SEO fields.
Use native WooCommerce pages
The default shortcode sends shoppers to the theme's product search results, keeping familiar product cards, sorting, filters, and pagination.
Dedicated results mode
If your theme search template is not the right fit, switch to shortcode mode and render paginated plugin-hosted results on a dedicated page.
Bring your own AI key
Configure your own provider account for AI understanding, reranking, and image search. Leave it empty when you only need fallback text matching.
Storefront experience
A search assistant that feels native to your catalog.
Add the shortcode to a home page, shop page, or dedicated search page. Shoppers can type a normal sentence, refine with details, or use an image when enabled. The plugin searches indexed product data and returns relevant WooCommerce products.

Search
How it works
Install, configure, index, and search.
The plugin keeps setup practical for store owners and developers. Start with the default shortcode flow, then customize results behavior only when your store needs it.
Activate the plugin
Install it in WordPress, make sure WooCommerce is active, and activate the plugin.
Add the shortcode
Place [swai_search] on the page where shoppers should begin searching.
Choose AI options
Add an AI provider key only if you want stronger intent understanding or image search.
Rebuild the index
After imports or major catalog edits, rebuild the product index from the admin page.
Shortcode setup
Use the search flow that fits your store.
The default mode is best when your WooCommerce theme already has strong product listing, filtering, sorting, and pagination. Shortcode mode is useful when you want a dedicated AI search results page.
Default native results
[swai_search]
Explicit native mode
[swai_search results_mode="native"]
Send to dedicated results page
[swai_search results_mode="shortcode" results_page_url="/ai-search-results/"]
Render paginated shortcode results
[swai_search results_mode="shortcode" per_page="9"]
