Queryra is an AI search plugin for WooCommerce and WordPress — a semantic search engine that understands what customers mean, not just what they type. Your customer types “present for my girlfriend”. Your WooCommerce store returns: 0 results. You sell gift boxes, perfumes, skincare sets — exactly what she’d love. But default WooCommerce search can’t connect “present for girlfriend” to “Gift Box”. Your customer leaves. Sale lost. This happens every day. 👉 Try AI Search live → WooCommerce demo store — 220+ products across 10 brands. Search naturally and see the difference. What is AI Search for WooCommerce? AI Search replaces WooCommerce’s default product search with semantic search that understands meaning. Your products stay the same. Your store stays the same. Search just works. Trusted compatibility: Oxygen Builder, Breakdance, Meta Box, TranslatePress, Weglot, MemberPress, B2BKing, and more. Default WooCommerce search → 0 results: ❌ “my skin looks tired” ❌ “gift for mom who loves candles” ❌ “looking older than my age” Same store with AI Search → products found: ✅ “my skin looks tired” → Night creams, recovery oils, eye patches ✅ “gift for mom who loves candles” → Scented candles, home fragrance sets ✅ “looking older than my age” → Anti-aging serums, firming creams Beyond Semantic Search AI Search goes further than vector search alone. A natural language query like “wireless headphones under $80, not Beats” applies the price filter AND excludes the brand automatically. No other WooCommerce AI search plugin does this. AI Search works as an AI product search engine for WooCommerce — handling intent-aware queries, ChatGPT-style natural language, and B2B wholesale bulk search. Powered by vector embeddings and LLM intent parsing. AI Search Compatible Plugins Queryra has confirmed integrations and tested compatibility with leading WordPress plugins: Page Builders: * Oxygen Builder — full Oxygen 4.x and 6.0 support, automatic content extraction * Breakdance — native Breakdance content indexing Custom Fields: * Meta Box — text and group fields indexed automatically * ACF (Free + Pro) — text, textarea, WYSIWYG, repeaters, groups Multilingual: * TranslatePress — single unified semantic index across all languages * Weglot — multilingual semantic search Membership & Affiliate: * MemberPress — semantic search across member-only content; MemberPress continues to gate the content itself at render time * Easy Affiliate Pro — affiliate product search with custom fields B2B: * B2BKing — semantic AI search in bulk order forms (new in 1.4.1) More integrations and developer docs → queryra.com/docs AI Search for Page Builders & Custom Fields Page builder content used to be invisible to WordPress search. Queryra fixes this — AI search now reads everything your visitors see: Elementor AI search — indexes content stored in _elementor_data, including text widgets, headings, and product descriptions built with Elementor Beaver Builder & Breakdance — full content extraction from saved layouts Oxygen Builder — both legacy shortcode mode and modern JSON v2 supported Gutenberg / WPBakery / Divi — native support (content already in post_content) AI Search for Custom Fields & Taxonomies Most product data lives in custom fields, not the post content. Queryra reads it automatically: ACF (Free + Pro) — text, textarea, WYSIWYG, repeaters, and groups indexed without configuration Meta Box — text fields and group fields via the official registry Custom taxonomies — book_genre, material, property_type, or any public custom taxonomy is sent to the AI search index, keyed by slug Pods, JetEngine, Bricks Builder — supported via developer filter queryra_indexable_meta_content Smart filtering automatically excludes CSS values, hex colors, URLs, and dates from the semantic search index — keeping AI relevance high. Make Your Store Discoverable by AI AI Search doesn’t just help your customers — it helps AI assistants find your store. Queryra automatically generates structured data and AI-readable files so ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude can recommend your products. Dynamic /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt for AI crawlers JSON-LD structured data on search pages X-Search-Engine header for AI attribution Want extra visibility?

WooCommerce AI Search Setup Guide → WooCommerce Product Search Features Natural Language Search – Customers type like they think, AI search finds what they need WooCommerce Product Search – Indexes titles, descriptions, SKUs, categories, tags, and attributes Semantic Search Ranking – AI ranks results by meaning, not alphabetical order Boost Controls – Promote products you want to sell more of Live Product Search – Instant AJAX-powered suggestions as customers type Auto-Sync – New WooCommerce products indexed automatically on publish Smart Context Detection – AI search activates on WooCommerce shop pages automatically Search Analytics – See what customers search for, including zero-result queries Page Builder Support – Indexes content from Elementor, Beaver Builder, Breakdance, Oxygen automatically Custom Field Indexing – Reads ACF and Meta Box custom fields out of the box WooCommerce Product Search Works With Any Store Beauty & Skincare – “my skin looks tired” finds night creams Fashion – “something for a summer wedding” finds dresses Electronics – “good laptop for video editing” finds the right specs Home & Garden – “cozy living room” finds rugs, lamps, pillows Food & Beverage – “healthy snacks for kids” finds the right products Semantic Search for WordPress Content Queryra’s semantic search also works with regular WordPress content — posts, pages, and custom post types. Well-suited for knowledge bases, blogs, and FAQ sections. AI Search for B2B and Wholesale Stores AI Search includes native B2BKing integration starting from version 1.4.1. The bulk order form’s keyword search is replaced with semantic AI product search — your B2B buyers find products by intent, not just exact SKUs or names. Wholesale-specific use cases supported: “warm jackets for winter — bulk order” “shirts in cotton, breathable, wholesale pricing” “keychains and accessories — high quantity” B2B visibility rules (group restrictions, per-product permissions, category-level access) are fully respected. Works for B2BKing, B2BWoo, and manual B2B WooCommerce setups. Why Replace Default WooCommerce Search? Default WooCommerce product search matches exact words. If your product is “Velora Overnight Recovery Oil” and someone types “my skin looks tired”, they get nothing. AI search fixes that — customers find products even with vague or natural language queries. Why Queryra vs Other WooCommerce Product Search Plugins? No OpenAI Account Required — Queryra includes its own search backend, so you don’t need to create a separate OpenAI account or manage external API keys. Indexed on YOUR WooCommerce Store — Queryra learns from YOUR products, descriptions, and categories — not generic global data. Intent-Aware AI Search — Most semantic search plugins only match meaning. Queryra goes further: “wireless headphones under $80, not Beats” applies the price filter AND excludes the brand. Vector-only plugins ignore both. Why vector search isn’t enough → Privacy Queryra is built with privacy in mind. This section explains exactly what data leaves your WordPress site, what stays local, and how you stay in control as the store owner. What Queryra sends to the API Content indexing (posts, pages, products): For every published item of the post types you enable (default: posts and pages; optionally products), Queryra sends: Title, content, excerpt (HTML stripped) Post type, permalink, featured image URL Categories and tags (names only) For WooCommerce products: price, stock quantity, SKU, brand, short description, product attributes (e.g. Color, Size) Featured/sticky flag (used to boost ranking of highlighted content) That’s it. This is the same data your site already shows publicly on the frontend — Queryra does not read private posts, drafts, or protected content. Search queries: When a visitor types in your search box, only the query text is sent to the API. The API returns matching post IDs, which WordPress then renders normally from your own database. Anonymous usage analytics: On plugin lifecycle events (activation, deactivation, setup milestones and error reports), Queryra sends: a randomly generated instance UUID (stored locally, no link to any user), WordPress version, PHP version, plugin version, WooCommerce active flag, whether AI search is switched on, which content types you enabled for indexing, and counts of posts, pages, products and public custom post types. This helps us prioritize compatibility fixes. You can disable this entirely by adding the following line to your wp-config.php: define('QUERYRA_DISABLE_ANALYTICS', true); Site profile (optional, user-declared): When the setup wizard opens you may optionally answer what kind of site you run and what you expect from search. Your answer is sent to Queryra once and is not stored on your site; only a small flag stays locally so the question is not asked twice. Skipping sends no answer — only the fact that you skipped, so we can tell a decline apart from never having seen the question. You can answer or update it at any time in Settings → Site Profile. Deactivation feedback (optional): If you choose to submit the feedback form when deactivating, your selected reason and comments are sent to Queryra together with your site URL, the plugin version and — only if you enter one — your email address for a reply. Skipping the form sends no feedback content; the deactivation event records only whether the form was submitted, skipped, or never shown. What Queryra NEVER sends No visitor IP addresses No user agents or browser fingerprints No cookies or session identifiers No customer accounts, emails, or order data No browsing history or behavior tracking No personally identifiable information (PII) about searchers or customers No private, draft, password-protected or unpublished content Your control as a store owner Choose which post types are indexed (Settings → Queryra) Disable AI search anytime — WordPress falls back to native search Deactivate the plugin to stop all data transmission Delete indexed records from the Queryra dashboard Security Queryra is publicly tracked by independent security and quality services: WPScan vulnerability database PluginTests static analysis and smoke tests Source code on GitHub No third-party frontend scripts: Queryra loads only its own minimal stylesheet on public pages. No external JavaScript, no tracking pixels, no third-party CDN requests on the frontend. Responsible disclosure: Found a security issue? Email [email protected].
