Speed features work in layers: prepared product data, cache, browser memory, server memory, and safe preload.
Fast Index Engine
Builds a prepared product search list so search can use a faster route like /?fsp&q=keyword.
Cloudflare Fast Search
Lets Cloudflare remember repeat public searches so WordPress does not need to rebuild the same answer again.
Browser Quick Search
Remembers recent search answers in the visitor’s browser for faster repeat searches.
Memory Cache Boost
Uses stable object cache or Redis to reduce repeated server work.
Product List Memory
Stores a small ready-to-use product list so search can answer without checking the full shop again.
Fast Search Starter
Prepares popular searches early so first dropdown results can appear faster when shoppers begin typing.
Search Cache Warm-Up
Warms common search words slowly in the background instead of surprising the server at busy time.
Product Result Preload
Can warm product page HTML safely after search interaction, without waking product page images.
Help shoppers find products even when typing is not perfect.
Search Accuracy features help with typos, short search words, multi-word searches, price phrases, and extra content results.
Better Word Matching
Helps search understand more than one word. Example: “red apple” should prefer products matching both words.
Typo Fix
Helps shoppers when they spell a product or brand name wrongly.
glenlivett → glenlivet
Price Search Words
Lets shoppers search by budget words like “under 500”, “above 100”, or “between 20 and 50”.
Search From First Letter
Lets results start from one letter or first few letters. Useful on mobile and large catalogs.
Page & Blog Search
Can show matching pages and blog posts in live search when helpful, while product results stay important.
Product Family Recall
Helps exact and related product names stay together, such as “The Glenlivet” and “Glenlivet”.
Make dropdown results clean and easy to scan.
Design features help shoppers quickly understand each result: image, title, price, and next action.
Search Box Design
Styles result rows, product names, prices, popular searches, recent searches, View More button, and mobile popup.
Better Search Images
Picks small product photos for search results so the dropdown avoids loading huge product images.
Small Image Guard
Checks if a search image is too big, broken, or unsafe, then swaps it to a smaller image or placeholder.
Background Dimmer
Dims the page behind desktop search so shoppers can focus on the dropdown.
Popular & Recent Searches
Shows helpful ideas before typing and remembers recent searches for easy repeat use.
Mobile Keyboard Helper
Helps the phone keyboard open when the mobile search popup opens.
