PrestaShop Search Auto Complete Module | Knowband

We have seen over the years how Google starts suggesting results even before you have typed your complete search query. This is what we generally call as Auto Search or Search as you type. Today, customers expect the same from e-commerce stores as well.



Why auto search is the need for e-commerce platforms today?

For an e-commerce store, it is important to guide visitors to the right products while they type their search query. A poor search experience can make a visitor take an instant exit from your store and he/she might never return to your store again. This can create a drastic effect on your conversion and drop down your revenue heavily.

Things seem to be easy in an offline store. Everything is categorized and visible right in front of your eyes. You know what you need and where it will be. You also have the store managers to guide you.

But it is not exactly the same case with an online store. Products might be categorized but it can take time to find relevant products. How can this be taken care of?  Effective search is the key here.


Prestashop quick search addon



In order to enhance the purchasing experience of the visitors on your store, Knowband offers Prestashop Search Auto suggest addon that understands visitors' search queries and presents a sorted and a relevant list of products in front of them.

As soon as visitors start typing their query in the search box,  it starts displaying a number of relevant results and helps visitors to quickly find their desired product.

The aim of any e-commerce store owner is to increase conversions and it is only possible if you could make your customers easily find what they are looking for in your store.

4. Choose the minimum number of letters for the search bar to start suggesting results


This feature of Prestashop fast search plugin asks you to set a minimum limit of the letters, following which the auto search bar will start functioning. Suppose a customer is searching for a shirt on your store, if you have chosen the minimum letters limit to be 3, then as soon as the customer types 'shi', the results will start appearing.


5. Display product and category in the search box


When a user searches for a product, Prestashop search complete addon also displays, to which category the product belongs.

6. Highlight stock status


Prestashop search complete addon allows you to filter the product search results based on the stock status and the quantity. You can choose whether you want to display only the products that are in stock or you can opt to display out of stock products as well.

7. Define a quantity range for the products to appear in the search results

You can define a quantity range for your products to appear in the search results. For example, if the quantity range is set from 5 to 10, then on a visitor's search, the results related to that product will only be displayed if that product's quantity on your store lies between 5 to 10.

Make your search bar more appealing by choosing your heading's font color as well as its background color. Choose a highlighting color for the searched keyword.

No. of touchscreen phone users in the last few years has increased significantly. Hence, web developers are making sure that the content of a website loads as seamlessly in a mobile phone as it does on a desktop. This becomes highly important for e-commerce websites where the look, design, and functions can either take the business to a whole new level or reduce it drastically.
While searching for a product on a store, visitors sometimes feel too lazy to go to the product pages one by one. Also, users do not like clicking for the next page again and again. What if this could be reduced to a more simpler way? Considering this, Knowband comes up with a new add-on "Prestashop Infinite Scroll" for the Prestashop store owners.
