Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Product Search Category Redirect version 1.4.2 as active, updated 1y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.7.
Overview
About this plugin
With this extension when someone searches for products and their search terms match a product category then they will be redirected to that product category instead of the search results.
This is useful if you have products which do not contain the product category name in the title or description as those products wouldn’t appear in search results when someone searches for the product category name.
Features
Redirects search terms to product categories when matched
Search term to category match can be in any order
Lightweight and no configuration required
Usage
There are no settings to configure with this extension, once it is activated just try a product search for a product category and you will get redirected to that product category instead of seeing the search results.
For example, if you have a premium hoodies category then search for premium hoodies (or hoodies premium) and it will redirect you to the premium hoodies category instead of showing you the search results.
