AI Search for WooCommerce – Semantic Search Connector
The first AI search connector for WordPress 7.0. While other WordPress 7.0 connectors generate text (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google), Queryra is the search engine for your site. After activation, Queryra appears in Settings → Connectors alongside the LLM providers — but instead of writing content, Queryra finds posts, pages, and products by meaning, intent, and natural language.
Queryra is an AI search plugin for WordPress and WooCommerce — a semantic search engine that understands what customers mean, not just what they type. Works with posts, pages, custom post types, and WooCommerce products.
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.

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.
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 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

WordPress 7.0 Connectors API & Abilities API
Queryra is a native WordPress 7.0 AI search connector. After activation, Queryra appears in Settings → Connectors alongside OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google — giving site owners a unified place to manage AI search configuration.
- Connectors API — Queryra registers as an AI search connector. Manage your Queryra API key from the standard WordPress 7.0 Connectors screen.
- Abilities API — Queryra exposes
queryra/semantic-searchas a discoverable ability. AI agents, chatbots, and assistants running on WordPress 7.0 can call Queryra natively for semantic product search. - Backward compatible — Queryra works on WordPress 5.8+. Connector and ability features activate automatically on WordPress 7.0 and newer.
This makes Queryra the first AI semantic search plugin built natively for the WordPress 7.0 connector ecosystem.

Semantic Search for WordPress Content
Queryra’s semantic search also works with regular WordPress content — posts, pages, and custom post types. Perfect for knowledge bases, blogs, and FAQ sections.
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 Key Required — Other AI search plugins make you create an OpenAI account and manage API keys. Queryra AI search includes everything.
Trained on YOUR WooCommerce Store — Not a generic AI. Semantic search learns YOUR products, YOUR descriptions, YOUR categories.
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 activation and deactivation, Queryra sends: a randomly generated instance UUID (stored locally, no link to any user), WordPress version, PHP version, plugin version, WooCommerce active flag, and counts of posts, pages and products. 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);
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:
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 contact@queryra.com. We will investigate on a best-effort basis and credit reporters in the changelog.
