Odd Search Behaviour

[Simon Rogers]

Hi

I hope you can help.

I recently installed your search plugin.

I also followed your YouTube tutorials which were clear.

However I get some strange presentations of the search function and results.

I wonder if you can help.

I am just an owner builder so confident to go looking but no real skills. Its not my first site but first with your plugin.

I would really like the Search design and layout improved as well as how the results are presented.

Hi!

Sure, no worries, I will assist you with everything!

I have logged in to look at the configuration and changed a few details for better results, but you can change them back of course:
– I de-selected the taxonomy terms as results. I assume you only want products as results, and you were seeing the product categories as results: https://i.imgur.com/mGYXdAb.png
– On the isotopic styling panel, I changed the title background to a darker black color: https://i.imgur.com/cEefBaR.png
– Also changed the title to a white to fit better: https://i.imgur.com/eR13ZjZ.png
– Another change is that the results layout is now a block, so instead of hovering over the content, it pushes it down: https://i.imgur.com/a19qFVS.png
– I also noticed that the tag label colors were overwritten by a theme CSS conflict, so I added the following custom CSS to resolve it:

.asp_option_label {
    color: black !important;
}

I hope this helps!

I also recommend checking this WooCommerce video tutorial, it is specifically made for product search design.

Thank you for your help. Sorry for the slow reply I have been travelling.

Perhaps you can help with a final layout/presentation issue.

The Search works but the filters I would like to show only appear after you have entered some text.

In my mind the idea was that the Filters would be at the top of all search pages where you can select the brand and multiple or individual types of produc from the check boxes.

or

simply type BMW for example into the search box.

I don’t seem to be able to make this function.

Sure!

Well, you can use the search settings shortcode to display the filters wherever you want on the same page.
