Plattio Search

Description

Plattio Search provides an icon-based slide-out search or a permanently visible search bar with live WooCommerce product results.

Highlights:

• Live product search with product image, title and price.
• SKU, product-title, category and fuzzy fallback matching.
• Optional add-to-cart and quantity controls for simple products.
• Manual category/product suggestions or personalized recent/popular suggestions.
• Search statistics under WooCommerce settings.
• Results rendered in a body-level portal to avoid clipping by headers and page builders.
• Keyboard navigation and an accessible live-result region.
• Bundled translations for 32 WordPress locales.
• RTL styling for both the frontend and WooCommerce administration screens.

The result panel and suggestion keywords remain hidden until the visitor actively engages the search input by clicking/tapping it or starts typing after keyboard focus. Merely opening the icon, focusing during an animation, resizing the window or triggering another page interaction does not reveal the panel.

The plugin includes complete PO/MO files for Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Czech, Danish, Dutch, English (United Kingdom and United States), Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian Bokmål, Persian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu and Vietnamese.

Security notes

• Public AJAX actions require action-specific WordPress nonces.
• Search, tracking and cart endpoints have separate request-rate limits.
• Search and tracking terms are normalized, sanitized and length-limited.
• Result counts are clamped server-side.
• WooCommerce product visibility and purchasability APIs are used before output or cart changes.
• Admin settings require the manage_woocommerce capability and WooCommerce’s settings nonce flow.
• Dynamic output is escaped or passed through constrained allowlists.
• CSS shortcode values are restricted to supported colors and dimensions.
