See it working on a demo shop: https://woocommerce-shop.findlane.dev Connect the store to a Findlane account under WooCommerce Findlane. Findlane’s Free plan covers up to 10,000 products and 10,000 searches a month; larger plans are on findlane.dev. ### External services This plugin connects your store to Findlane (https://findlane.dev), a hosted search service, and does nothing until you choose Connect. **Connecting** opens the Findlane dashboard (app.findlane.dev) in your browser with your store’s address and name and the address to come back to; there you sign in and choose an index. Connecting with an API key sends your store’s address to api. findlane.dev instead. Once connected: * **Your products** are read by Findlane from a page this plugin adds to your site(/ wp-json/findlane/v1/products), protected by a secret: names, prices, stock, images, categories, tags, attributes, SKUs and descriptions, which are public on your store already, and for ranking, each product’s total sales, rating, number of reviews and date added. Changes are sent to api.findlane.dev as you make them. * **Your product categories and published pages** are read the same way (/wp-json/ findlane/v1/categories and /pages): their names, descriptions, the start of each page’s text, images and addresses, public on your store already. WooCommerce’s cart, checkout and account pages aren’t sent. * **Searches** from your store’s search box and search results page go to api.findlane. dev, with the shopper’s IP address and browser, which Findlane uses for rate limits and to tell crawlers from shoppers. * **Paid orders,** if you choose: each order’s ID, products, quantities, prices and time, as orders are paid and, on connecting, those of the last 60 days. Never who bought them. * **A status report,** daily and when you open the plugin’s page: the versions of the plugin, WordPress, WooCommerce and PHP, and whether the plugin’s checks pass (such as scheduled jobs running), shown in the Findlane dashboard. Requests from your store to api.findlane.dev carry your store’s address and the plugin’s and WordPress’s versions. * **Clicks and product views** from the search box and the search results page, only when the shopper allows statistics through a cookie banner that supports the WP Consent API. A click carries the search’s filters, and whether the search was opened from an ad, an email or another site (never the ad’s click ID or campaign). With the same permission, the order received page sends the order again from the shopper’s browser with a random visitor ID, so Findlane can tell which orders followed a search.

Go to WooCommerce Findlane and choose Connect to Findlane. 3. Sign in or create a Findlane account, choose a workspace and an index for the store, and connect. 4. Findlane reads your products, usually within a few minutes, and your search box and results page use it from then on. ## FAQ ### What happens if Findlane can’t be reached? Your store’s search falls back to WordPress’s own for that search. The shop never breaks. ### My theme has its own live search. Flatsome, Woodmart, FiboSearch and Advanced Woo Search have their own. The plugin’s page says which one it found; turn it off there, so the two lists don’t open together. ### Does it work without WP-Cron? Changes as you make them use WordPress’s scheduled jobs, which need WP-Cron or visitors. Findlane also reads all products once a day, and `wp findlane push` sends everything at once from WP-CLI. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Findlane Search for WooCommerce” is open source software.
