FiboSearch – Ajax Search for WooCommerce vs Improved External Products for WooCommerce

The most popular WooCommerce product search plugin. It gives your users a well-designed advanced AJAX search bar with live search suggestions.

Baymard Institute’s latest UX research reveals that search autocomplete, auto-suggest, or an instant search feature is now offered on 96% of major e-commerce sites. It’s a must-have feature for every online business that can’t afford to lose customers. Why? FiboSearch helps users save time and makes shopping easier. As a result, Fibo really boosts sales.
