Smarter Search plugin for Products & Posts enhances the default search experience on WordPress + WooCommerce sites by using AI to interpret queries and return more relevant results. It’s practical, configurable, and designed to integrate cleanly with existing layouts.

Key Features

• AI-driven search relevance using LLMs to handle natural-language queries and improve result matching.
• Intelligent product & post retrieval with configurable scopes: products only, posts only, or mixed results.
• SKU and product ID detection — exact matches redirect users directly to the product page.
  Dynamic prompt generator in the admin area — builds a shop-specific system prompt using business description, categories, tags, and attributes to give the AI useful context.
• Shortcode for embedding the search form with an optional placeholder: use
  
  or add a placeholder like
  
  
  
  The placeholder is limited in length; the form includes a spinner for UX and enforces a maxlength for the query.
• WooCommerce-friendly output: product image, rating, price, and add-to-cart button support in search result templates.
• Customization controls: choose LLM model, temperature, include/exclude tags or attributes, and adjust search-scope behavior.
• Developer-friendly hooks and filters for extending behavior and integrating with other plugins.

This plugin focuses on practical improvements: clearer search results, better handling of product-specific queries (SKUs, categories, tags, attributes), and a simple shortcode to place the search form where you need it.
