详情介绍:
- Speed. Suggestions appear as the visitor types, with multi-level caching that keeps response times low even on shared hosting.
- Forgiveness. Built-in fuzzy matching catches typos and missing letters automatically. Searching "trapno" still finds the trapano.
- Smart matching. Beyond plain titles, the plugin also matches product SKUs and EAN/GTIN codes, so warehouse and B2B users find products by code instantly.
- Compatibility. Works with any theme, any WooCommerce setup, any cache plugin. No assumptions about your stack.
- Real-time autocomplete suggestions in the search box
- Configurable number of product / post / page suggestions per query (you choose how many)
- Multilingual smart fuzzy matching — automatic typo recovery in English, Italian, Spanish, French, and German (handles missing letters, swapped letters, vowel substitution)
- Automatic accent normalization — café/über/straße/niño/français all matched without typing the accents
- SKU and EAN/GTIN exact match (a customer who knows the code finds the product immediately)
- Multi-content search — products, blog posts, and pages in a single dropdown (toggle each independently)
- Product thumbnails in the dropdown
- Product price display with regular/sale formatting (uses WooCommerce currency settings)
- Loading indicator while suggestions are fetched
- Out-of-stock filter — hide unavailable products from suggestions

常见问题:
Is the plugin really free?
Yes. There is no time limit, no feature trial, no required signup, no locked feature. The plugin is fully functional and remains free forever.
Do I need WooCommerce to use this plugin?
No. WooCommerce is optional. The plugin works on any WordPress site to provide autocomplete search for posts and pages. When WooCommerce is installed and active, you additionally get product search with thumbnails, prices, and SKU/EAN matching. In other words, WooCommerce is not required — it simply lets the plugin do more.
Does the plugin slow down my site?
No — it's designed to be fast. The plugin uses aggressive multi-level caching (in-memory + transient), so most queries are served in 50–80 milliseconds.
Does it work with my theme?
Yes. The plugin attaches to the standard WooCommerce search input. It works with any theme that uses the WooCommerce search form (which is virtually all of them). No theme modifications are required.
Does it work with translation plugins?
Yes. The plugin is translation-ready and compatible with WPML, Polylang, and Loco Translate. The 5 built-in admin languages (English, Italian, Spanish, French, German) cover the most common WooCommerce regions.
Does the plugin send any data outside my site?
No. The plugin makes zero external calls. All search functionality is 100% local — processed by your own WordPress installation against your own database. No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking, no remote requests of any kind.
How does the SKU/EAN exact match work?
When a visitor types text that exactly matches a product's SKU or _global_unique_id (EAN/GTIN), the plugin returns that product immediately — even before the regular text search runs.
Can the autocomplete search blog posts and pages, not just products?
Yes. Open Autocomplete → General Settings → Search scope and toggle on "Blog posts" and/or "Pages" alongside (or instead of) products. The autocomplete dropdown will then include matching blog posts and pages, and clicking a result navigates straight to that post or page. By default only products are searched.
How do I uninstall the plugin completely?
Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins, deactivate, then delete the plugin. WordPress runs the plugin's uninstall routine automatically, which removes the plugin's option and cached data. No leftovers in your database.
I want more features. Is there a Pro version?
Yes. A separate Pro plugin is available at https://www.biwem.it/autocomplete. It is distributed exclusively from biwem.it as its own plugin (it is not on WordPress.org). The Free version on WordPress.org remains fully functional and free forever.
I have a problem or feature request. Where do I get support?
Post in the WordPress.org plugin support forum. We monitor it actively.
更新日志:
- Hardened the suggestion cache against abuse: very long search terms and an excessive number of brand-new terms per day are no longer written to the persistent cache, preventing unnecessary database growth from automated or malicious queries. Normal searches are unaffected.
- The number of suggestions shown in the dropdown is now fully configurable with no maximum cap — set any value you like from the "Results to show" setting.
- Removed all references that framed the suggestion count as a limited or upgrade-only feature.
- Documentation and readme updated accordingly.
- Real-time autocomplete with a configurable number of internal product / post / page suggestions per query.
- Multilingual smart fuzzy matching for typo tolerance — "trapno" still finds "trapano", "drll" finds "drill", "prceuse" finds "perceuse". Works in English, Italian, Spanish, French, and German.
- Automatic accent normalization — searches like "cafe" find "café", "uber" finds "über", "strasse" finds "straße", no need to type the accents.
- SKU and EAN/GTIN exact match — type a code, get the exact product.
- Multi-content search: products, blog posts, and pages can each be toggled on or off independently.
- Multi-level caching layer (in-memory + 10-minute transient) for fast responses.
- Product thumbnails in the dropdown.
- Product price display with regular/sale price formatting (uses WooCommerce currency settings).
- Loading indicator option in the dropdown.
- Out-of-stock filter — hide unavailable products from suggestions.
