Plattio Search

Plattio Search provides an icon-based slide-out search or a permanently visible search bar with live WooCommerce product results.

Highlights:

• Live product search with product image, title and price.
• SKU, product-title, category and fuzzy fallback matching.
• Optional add-to-cart and quantity controls for simple products.
• Manual category/product suggestions or personalized recent/popular suggestions.
• Search statistics under WooCommerce settings.
• Results rendered in a body-level portal to avoid clipping by headers and page builders.
• Keyboard navigation and an accessible live-result region.
• Bundled translations for 32 WordPress locales.
• RTL styling for both the frontend and WooCommerce administration screens.

The result panel and suggestion keywords remain hidden until the visitor actively engages the search input by clicking/tapping it or starts typing after keyboard focus. Merely opening the icon, focusing during an animation, resizing the window or triggering another page interaction does not reveal the panel.

• Search and tracking terms are normalized, sanitized and length-limited.
• Result counts are clamped server-side.
• WooCommerce product visibility and purchasability APIs are used before output or cart changes.
