Key Features of WordPress Search:

1. Server-Side Search for Larger Catalogs:

   • Designed for stores with more than 50 products, WordPress Search processes search queries on the server.
   • It taps into WordPress’s database, making it suitable for larger product catalogs that require powerful backend processing.

2. Leverages WordPress’s Native Search Engine:

   • Kivo Search builds on WordPress’s built-in search capabilities, enhancing its efficiency for eCommerce.
   • While native WordPress search works well for basic text searches, Kivo Search extends it by introducing advanced search logic, filters, and relevance ranking.

3. Deeper Integration with WooCommerce:

   • The WordPress Search feature is fully integrated with WooCommerce, meaning it can search through product descriptions, attributes, categories, tags, and even custom fields.
   • It ensures that your WooCommerce store’s entire product catalog is searchable and indexed properly.

4. Improved Relevance and Search Accuracy:

   • Kivo Search enhances WordPress’s default search by adding fuzzy matching, synonym handling, and relevance ranking.
   • This means the search results are more accurate, relevant, and user-friendly, ensuring that even less-than-perfect queries find appropriate results.
