Live Search FAQs
Practical answers based on the controls and integrations included in the current Convertivo module.
Is Live Search suitable for a large WooCommerce catalogue?
Yes. It uses an indexed search layer with controlled batch rebuilding, cache-aware responses and manual or scheduled rebuild intervals from hourly to monthly.
Where can the search experience appear?
Choose a fullscreen overlay, a compact popup with list or grid results, or an inline AJAX field placed with the Convertivo shortcode.
Can Live Search show more than product titles?
Yes. It can search configured product data, SKUs, descriptions, categories, pages, posts and meta, then display labels, swatches, recent products and currency-aware prices where enabled.
