    In online shops the search engine is an important mechanism for discovering products, especially with extensive catalogues and multiple variants. Typical sources of lost results include typos, divergent terminology (synonyms), overly restrictive query interpretation and lack of field prioritisation. PP Advanced Search addresses these cases through configurable matching modes, relevance control and operational tools to maintain search data currency.

    The module provides developers and implementation agencies as well as owners of shops based on the PrestaShop script with a set of settings that allow conscious control of the search engine's behaviour: query processing mode (strict / broad / exact phrase), minimum query length, results limit per page and relevance weights assigned to selected product data. For large-scale shops, a performance-oriented mode is available (requires appropriate server support, e.g. full-text indexes). After mass changes in the catalogue, full or incremental indexing can be run, and the operation's progress is reported in the administrative panel.

    What You Gain (Business and Operational)

    • Reduction of no-result queries thanks to typo tolerance and synonym handling.
    • Shorter path to product thanks to live search (suggestions while typing) and clear results page.
    • Relevance control through matching priorities for key product data.
    • Search quality monitoring thanks to statistics (popular queries, no-result queries, clickability/CTR) and export capability.
    • Controlled data retention through statistics storage limit and automatic cleaning of oldest entries.

    What the Customer Sees on the Front (Front Office)

    • Live search : product suggestions while typing.
    • Suggestions can show price and availability (optionally), facilitating quick selection.
    • Clear transition to full list: "See all results" from the dropdown list.
    • Dedicated results page with result count, sorting and pagination.
    • Customer messages for no results or too short query.

    What You Can Set in the Panel (Back Office)

    • Enable/disable the module and set minimum query length and results limit per page .
    • Choose query processing method: strict (all words), broad (any word) or exact phrase .
    • Enable typo tolerance and set operating parameters.
    • Configure live search (suggestion limit, delay, sorting, prices, background overlay).
    • Set result relevance through matching priorities (e.g. name, descriptions, product code/SKU, manufacturer, categories, features).
    • Manage synonyms (adding, enabling/disabling, import and export).
    • Run indexing (full rebuild or only missing products) and observe progress.
    • Configure SEO for results page : friendly URL and metadata (multi-language).
    • Review search statistics with date filter and CSV export.
