Advanced Search for Zen Cart

Replace Zen Cart's native broad keyword matching with faster, more precise catalog search powered by a prepared index in your store's database.

Features

• Automatically shows the most relevant products first, prioritizing exact model and product name matches.
• Choose whether searches include category names and descriptions, manufacturer names, attributes, meta keywords, and product descriptions.
• Automatically matches common singular and plural forms, such as girl and girls.
• Include out of stock products, place them after available products, or exclude them.
• Build and refresh the index in protected batches suitable for shared hosting.
• Refreshes affected records automatically after ordinary product and attribute edits.
• Record unsuccessful searches to identify missing products, catalog wording problems, and common spelling variations.
• Use the same indexed content and relevance ordering in compatible Bootstrap AJAX suggestions.
• Retain Zen Cart category, manufacturer, price, date, and listing controls.
• Install through Plugin Manager with no Zen Cart core or template file edits.

Version 1.0.9 supports Zen Cart 2.0.x through 2.2.x and PHP 8.0 through 8.5 within the limits supported by the installed Zen Cart version. Everything runs within the store database, with no separate service or recurring plan.
