SEOmedSEB Smart Search for WooCommerce

SEOmedSEB Smart Search for WooCommerce is a fast, self-hosted AJAX search plugin for WooCommerce stores, focused on two things:

• Deep, code-free design customization. The Design tab exposes colors, typography, spacing, border radius, and several built-in style presets (minimal, command palette, glassmorphism, sharp, rounded) as CSS variables, with a live preview.

• A relevance engine with typo tolerance built in. Search runs against a dedicated, optimized index table (not the slow default WordPress search), with fuzzy/SOUNDEX fallback matching so misspelled searches still find the right product.

Every feature in this plugin — including the search engine, the full Design tab, analytics, and the indexer — is free. There is no “Pro” upsell built into this version.
