Weighted Search

[sharif]

I’m using Atelier for my Woocommerce site and while the search looks great the results it displays are quite horrible (even when typing a specific product it shows other products on top).

How can I use “weighted” search results where I indicate which products should appear on top? I tried the “Curated Search” plugin as well as the Swiftype (paid) plugin. Swiftype allows me to reorder specific searches but it seems to interfere with your styling and appears on top while showing your results underneath. It seems that the AJAX (?) results you show are different from anything I can influence with a plugin.

Alternatively – could I switch off the AJAX results?

Can you please assist?

Thanks so much!

Hi @sharif

The results are exactly what the WordPress results pulls ( the ?s= query ) – we don’t do anything to control these other than pull them in via AJAX. We don’t currently have an option for non-ajax search in the header, although I’ll get that added for the next feature update.

Thank you.

How do I get the search results to align nicely in even results?

Also, I managed to remove the date, author, comments etc. but how can I display the WooCommerce price in the search result listings?

Thanks!

In the Theme Options make sure you set the header search to be “Products” if you want to show product style results.

This button may only be visible if you have “Fullscreen search” enabled – but we’ve sorted this for the next update.

Thank you – I also noticed that there is no pagination available on the search results pages? Can we do an endless scroll (or add pagination) ?
Appreciate the quick response!

I hope I’m not hijacking Sharif’s thread but I’d also like to have this option. If possible.

Thank you.

Hi @sharif – pagination should be included, can you provide a link to your search results page which shows more articles than the amount set in your WordPress settings?

@leadgenmedia – we are working gone this for the next feature update
