OpenCart’s search is costing you sales! Fix it with OpenCart Super Search.
OpenCart Super Search is three extensions in one:
- Autosuggestions – completes visitors’ typing and helps them quickly find your products, categories, and search terms
- Smarter, more relevant, more search-engine-like results – shows visitor’s relevant, expected results for their searches
- Search terms logging & stats – shows you what your visitors are searching for and helps you improve your site and product lines
OpenCart site’s default search functionality is costing you sales;
- OpenCart’s search doesn’t handle plurals. If you have 200 listings with “Monitor” in the title, a search for “Monitors” (plural) won’t bring them up! Really. Try it on your own site.
- OpenCart’s search by default only searches product titles and models. The rest of the product page is completely ignored.
- OpenCart’s search has no autocompletion/autosuggestion, making it hard to use and vulnerable to user error
- OpenCart’s search has no spelling/typo correction, misspelled words just return zero results
- OpenCart’s search has no useful prioritization. If you have many products, relevant search results get buried in the noise.
- OpenCart’s search doesn’t track what’s being searched, who knows what your visitors wanted or whether or not they found it?
Your customers can’t buy your products if they can’t find them. Super Search allows your products to be found.
