Product Search Category Redirect

Product Search Category Redirect

Details
View on WordPress

With this extension when someone searches for products and their search terms match a product category then they will be redirected to that product category instead of the search results.

This is useful if you have products which do not contain the product category name in the title or description as those products wouldn’t appear in search results when someone searches for the product category name.

Features

  • Redirects search terms to product categories when matched
  • Search term to category match can be in any order
  • Lightweight and no configuration required

Usage

There are no settings to configure with this extension, once it is activated just try a product search for a product category and you will get redirected to that product category instead of seeing the search results.

For example, if you have a premium hoodies category then search for premium hoodies (or hoodies premium) and it will redirect you to the premium hoodies category instead of showing you the search results.

Note that the redirect will only work if you are using the standard WooCommerce product search which has URLs like this: ?s=search-term&post_type=product.
