Show search results related to product tags

[spidercreations]

Sorry about the late reply. I’m not looking to specify limit to one tag. Business case as follows. (Note that I purchased your plugin already.) For each product there will be multiple tags. Tags will be (example): ford, chevy, dodge, subaru, fiat, mazda, pontiac, chrysler, buick, lincoln, mercury, volvo, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley, BMW and so on.

The tags will represent what cars the product will fit.

Product 1
Tags: chevy, mazda, subaru

Product 2
Tags: buick, mazda, murcury, volvo, BMW

Product 3
Tags: Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley

Product 4
Tags: chevy, mazda, subaru

In the above listing, if the site visitor starts typing in mazda, the ajax search results will include Products 1, 2 and 4 only, since those are the products that fit the mazda.

So that is our business requirement. If you know of another way to put this together, please let me know.

If this post covers it – https://wp-dreams.com/knowledge-base/searching-within-given-categoriestaxonomy-terms-only/ – I’m a bit confused as to how to implement it.

Hi!

I believe this is what you are looking for: https://documentation.ajaxsearchpro.com/general-settings/search-in-terms-categories-tags…

That should include all the information. I hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply, but your link seems to be broken.

OK. Figured out your link. The last three dots are messing it up. I got to this page.

That works, but is there a way to pre-populate the results with the tags as the site visitor starts typing?

I have quite a few tags that start in a similar way. As an example, you start typing

p100

And these are available to select from the pre-populated drop-down…

p100 full
p100 sub
p100 sub compact
p100 vtac

(The above are all some tags that I apply to products.

I’m still hunting through the documentation, but really appreciate your help!

Hi Steve,

Sorry abou that, this should work.

[spidercreations]

OK, sorry … figured out how to associate the product tags and show only those for the autocomplete, but I’d like to show all of those matching. In this example, the user started typing in scuba, and the ajax system provided a list of posts that match.

Want something similar, just showing the tags available to select from.

Thank you!

Thanks again for the awesome support. I’ll be buying additional licenses as the need presents itself with clients.

Kind of looking for the results/options of tags to show up like this so the user can select from available tags that meet what they have typed in so far.

See attached.

Disregard. I think I got it.

General Options > Sources 2 … I selected the product – Product tags option. There were also other options including product – Tags and product – Tags again. (Yes, twice.) But I don’t think those worked?

I think WooCommerce runs multiple taxonomies by the same name in some cases. Not sure why though. I have noticed that shipping classes are also registered as ‘tags’, which is confusing. I will make sure to somehow exclude those items from the list in the upcoming release.
