Description
Beplus Fast Product Filter & Live Search for WooCommerce gives your store two native Gutenberg blocks that replace slow page refreshes with instant AJAX results:
Advanced Woo Search — A complete product filter panel you drop above your shop grid. Customers narrow products by keyword, category, tag, attributes (Color, Size, etc.), price range, stock status, on-sale, featured, and rating. Every filter change updates the product list immediately via AJAX — no spinning page loads, no lost scroll position.
Live Search — A smart autocomplete search bar with dropdown suggestions. As customers type, matching products appear with thumbnail, price, and an instant add-to-cart button. Supports category filtering, typo tolerance, and highlighted search terms.
Both blocks work together or independently. Use the filter panel on your shop page, the search bar in your header, or both.
Key Features
- Instant, no-reload filtering — Category, tag, attribute, price, stock, on-sale, featured, and rating filters that update results via AJAX
- Smart autocomplete search — Live dropdown with product thumbnails, prices, add-to-cart, and typo correction
- Flexible price filter — Dual range slider or predefined price segments
- Product attributes support — Expose any WooCommerce attribute (Color, Size, Brand, etc.) as a filter
- Sidebar or inline layout — Choose how filters sit on your shop page
- Built-in performance cache — Pre-built filter data with auto-refresh keeps large catalogs fast
- Custom taxonomies — Add any custom product taxonomy as a reusable filter
- Block editor ready — Full InspectorControls for each block, ServerSideRender preview
- Accessible — ARIA labels, live regions, keyboard navigation, screen-reader text
- Progressive enhancement — Without JavaScript, filters fall back to standard GET form submission
- Translation ready — Fully internationalized text domain

FAQ
-
Does this work with block themes?
-
Yes. Both blocks are designed for blockified WooCommerce shop templates (e.g. Twenty Twenty-Five). The Advanced Woo Search block integrates directly with the WooCommerce Product Collection block.
-
Can I use only one of the blocks?
-
Yes. The Live Search and Advanced Woo Search blocks work independently. Use just the autocomplete search bar in your header, just the filter panel on your shop page, or both together.
-
Does it support custom taxonomies?
-
Yes. The Filters settings tab lets you register any custom product taxonomy as a reusable filter (selection mode, sub-item display, etc.). Enable individual taxonomies per block in the block editor inspector.
-
Will this slow down my store?
-
No. All filtering and searching happens via AJAX with a built-in cache service. Filter lists are pre-built and cached server-side with configurable auto-refresh. Actual search queries always return fresh results. You can measure the performance benefit directly from the settings page.
-
Can I customize the look and feel?
-
Yes. Both blocks inherit your theme’s styles. The Advanced Woo Search block supports sidebar or stacked layout. Control which filter sections appear (keyword, category, price, stock, attributes, etc.). Set accent colors, toggle term counts, and choose between single or multi-select modes.
-
Does it work with page builders?
-
The blocks are designed for the WordPress Site Editor and block themes. They work in any content area that supports Gutenberg blocks.
-
Is WooCommerce required?
-
Yes. The plugin relies on WooCommerce product data, taxonomies, and templates. It will not activate without WooCommerce installed and active.
-
Does it support variable and grouped products?
-
Yes. The plugin handles simple, variable, grouped, and external products. Stock filters and price ranges account for variations.
