## Description

**AI Search for WooCommerce** makes your store’s search actually work. When a shopper
types “summer blue dress” they find your “light cotton navy sundress”. When they
search “headphones for running” they find your sweat-resistant wireless earbuds —
even if the word “running” isn’t anywhere in the product description.

Default WooCommerce search matches keywords. AI Search matches _meaning_. It reads
your entire product catalog — titles, descriptions, SKUs, categories, tags, and 
attributes — and converts each product into a vector that captures what it actually
is. When a shopper searches, the plugin finds the closest matches by meaning, not
by exact word overlap.

The result: fewer empty search pages, more products surfaced for long-tail queries,
and shoppers who find what they wanted on the first try.

Also works with blog posts, pages, and any custom post type — so you can use the
same intelligent search across your whole site.

### Key Features

 * **WooCommerce Product Search**: Full product catalog indexing — titles, short
   and long descriptions, SKUs, categories, tags, and product attributes (size, 
   color, material, etc.). Pre-configured defaults so you can go live in minutes.
 * **Understands Shoppers, Not Just Keywords**: Semantic search means “cozy winter
   sweater” matches your “merino wool pullover”. Long-tail and descriptive queries
   stop returning empty pages.
 * **Cross-Lingual & Multilingual**: Works with 100+ languages — Portuguese, Spanish,
   French, German, Greek, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and more. International stores
   get consistent search quality across every language, and an English query can
   still match content in other languages.
 * **SKU & Attribute Matching**: Customers can search by SKU fragments, attribute
   values, or technical specs and still find the right product.
 * **Smart Fallback System**: 4-tier fallback ensures shoppers never hit a zero-
   result page — if AI search finds nothing, standard WordPress search takes over
   automatically.
 * **No OpenAI Account Required**: Uses our free embedding service (up to 10,000
   embeddings per site). Works out of the box for most stores.
 * **Bring Your Own API Key**: Optionally use your own OpenAI API key for unlimited
   indexing.
 * **Bulk Embedding Generation**: Index your entire existing catalog in one click,
   filtered by post type or category.
 * **Quota Management**: Real-time monitoring of AI service usage and limits (v1.14.0
   +).
 * **Works Beyond Products Too**: Same intelligent search for blog posts, pages,
   and any public custom post type.
 * **ACF Compatible**: Index Advanced Custom Fields data for deeper product metadata
   search.
 * **Tunable Similarity Threshold**: Fine-tune how strict or broad search results
   are, per store.
 * **Intelligent Caching**: Fast results with automatic local caching.

### Perfect For

 * **WooCommerce stores** with large or varied product catalogs
 * **Fashion & apparel** stores where shoppers describe products in their own words(“
   something flowy for summer”)
 * **Electronics & home goods** stores with complex technical specs and model numbers
 * **Books, media, and marketplaces** with thousands of titles
 * **International stores** selling in multiple languages
 * Membership sites, knowledge bases, and directories — any content-heavy WordPress
   site

### How It Works

 1. Each product in your WooCommerce catalog is converted into a numeric “meaning fingerprint”(
    called an embedding) that captures its title, description, SKU, categories, tags,
    and attributes.
 2. When a shopper types a search query, their query gets its own fingerprint in the
    same way.
 3. The plugin compares the query’s fingerprint against every product’s fingerprint
    and returns the closest matches by meaning — not just by word overlap.
 4. Results are ranked by relevance, so the products shoppers actually want appear 
    first.
 5. If no semantic matches pass the threshold, a 4-tier fallback kicks in so shoppers
    never hit an empty results page.

Embeddings are generated automatically when you publish or update products — no 
manual work after setup.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 2. The setup wizard launches automatically. If you have WooCommerce active, it will
    detect your store and pre-select the most useful product fields (short description,
    categories, attributes, SKU).
 3. Run **Bulk Embedding Generation** from **AI Search > Generate Embeddings** to index
    your existing product catalog (or posts/pages).
 4. That’s it — new and updated products get indexed automatically from this point 
    on.

## FAQ

### Does this work with WooCommerce products?

Yes — WooCommerce is the primary use case. The plugin indexes product titles, short
and long descriptions, SKUs, categories, tags, and product attributes. When you 
activate the plugin on a store with WooCommerce, the setup wizard automatically 
prioritizes products and pre-selects the most useful product fields.

### Can shoppers search by SKU?

Yes. SKUs are included in the product’s embedding, so a shopper can type a full 
or partial SKU and still find the product — even when combined with natural language(“
black shoes SKU-2024”).

### Does it work with WooCommerce product attributes?

Yes. Attributes like size, color, material, and any custom attributes you configure
are indexed as part of the product’s searchable content. Shoppers can search by 
attribute values (“large cotton”) and the plugin will match products with those 
attributes.

### Does it index product variations?

The plugin indexes the parent product (including its attributes and description).
Individual variation-level descriptions aren’t separately indexed, but since attributes
like size and color are included in the parent’s embedding, searches for variation-
specific terms still surface the right product.

### What is required to use AI Search?

Nothing if you use our free AI Search Service (up to 10,000 embeddings per site).
If you want unlimited indexing, you can use your own OpenAI API key.

### What happens if the embedding API fails?

The plugin logs the error and falls back to WordPress default search automatically,
so shoppers never hit a broken search page.

### When are embeddings generated?

Embeddings are automatically generated when you publish a post, page, or custom 
post type. You can also regenerate them manually from the post editor or bulk generate
them from the settings page.

### Will this slow down my website?

No. Embeddings are generated in the background when content is published, not during
searches. Search results are fast because they use pre-computed embeddings stored
in your database.

### How many embeddings can I create with the free service?

The free AI Search Service provides 10,000 embeddings per site. For unlimited usage,
you can use your own OpenAI API key.

### Does this work with custom post types?

Yes! AI Search works with any public custom post type. You can select which post
types to make searchable in the setup wizard or settings page.

### Can I index custom fields (ACF, meta boxes)?

Yes! You can configure custom post meta fields to be included in the search index.
This is perfect for ACF fields, custom taxonomies, and other metadata.

### What is the similarity threshold?

The similarity threshold (0.1-1.0, displayed as 10%-100%) determines how closely
search results must match the query. Higher values (70%-80%) give more precise results;
lower values (30%-50%) return broader matches. The default is 30%, which is a good
starting point for most stores — adjust down if shoppers see too few results, adjust
up if results feel loosely related.

### What happens if AI Search finds no results?

AI Search has a smart 4-tier fallback system that ensures users always get results,
falling back to WordPress default search if needed.

### How do I change my AI provider?

Go to AI Search > General Settings and switch between the free AI Search Service
or your own OpenAI API key.

### Is my search data private?

Yes. Search queries are processed through the embedding API but are not stored externally.
All search results and embeddings are stored in your WordPress database.

 [jasonsiegel](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jasonsiegel/) 18, Xunu de 2025

Installed, added my OpenAI key, and it just worked. Search results are way more 
relevant than the default WordPress search. It actually understands what people 
are trying to find, even if the keywords don’t match exactly.
