AI Search for WooCommerce – Semantic Search

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.

on WordPress and WooCommerce, plus real customer stores using it in production.

One demo carries 220+ products across 10 brands. Your store could be on this page.

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

Why Semantic Search

WordPress and WooCommerce search match keywords, not meaning — that is how

keyword search works, and no amount of configuration changes it. Semantic search

is a different class of tool, and today it is the best kind of search for a

website: it matches what the visitor meant. Queryra is the first result in that

category in the WordPress plugin directory.

• #1 for “semantic search” in the WordPress plugin directory — September 2026

• Independent video review — 4.8/5

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 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?

• Site promotion — your site gets featured on queryra.com and promoted across AI search platforms

WordPress 7.0 Connectors API & Abilities API

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

0 Connectors screen.

• Abilities API — queryra/semantic-search was registered under an invalid

category slug, so it never became discoverable. The fix is complete and will

ship with the next release.

• Backward compatible — Queryra works on WordPress 5.8+. Connector features

0 and newer.

Queryra is one of the early AI semantic search plugins to register as a

0 connector — making API key management consistent with other

AI providers in Settings → Connectors.

• 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

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 indexes 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.

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

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.
