Fast Fuzzy Search – WordPress & WooCommerce Live Search

Tired of slow or irrelevant WordPress search results?

Fast Fuzzy Search replaces the default WordPress search with an instant, typo-friendly search bar that works out of the box. Built for WooCommerce, blogs, documentation portals, and custom post types.

The plugin includes a REST API endpoint for cache-plugin compatibility, a file-based search index with configurable expiration, and Alpine.js-driven reactive UI with zero external CDN dependencies.

Features

• Live AJAX Search — Instant results as the visitor types, no page reload.
• Typo-Tolerant Fuzzy Engine — Powered by uFuzzy. “blu cap” still finds “blue cap”.
• WooCommerce Integration — Search by name, SKU, category, tags, and attributes. Shows prices and thumbnails inline.
• 10 Built-In Themes — Minimal Light, Minimal Dark, Material Light, Material Dark, Glassmorphic, Brutal, Iris, Crisp, Terracotta, Editorial. Each fully styled with hover, focus, and selected states.
• Custom Aesthetic Editor (Pro) — Inline CSS editor in the admin panel. Select any built-in theme as a base, and custimize.
• Primary Color Customization — All themes use the configured primary color via CSS custom properties. No hardcoded colors.
• Multiple Trigger Types — Floating icon button, text button, search field, or hybrid input-button.
• Auto Mode + Shortcode — Render sitewide via wp_body_open or embed manually with [fast_fuzzy_search].
• Post-Type Filters — Show/hide filter chips above results. Exclude content types from indexing.
• Smart File Cache — Search index stored as a flat JSON file in wp-content/cache/. Configurable expiration.
• REST API Endpoint — POST /wp-json/fast-fuzzy-search/v1/search for cache-plugin compatibility. Falls back to admin-ajax.php.
• Polylang Compatible — Works with multilingual sites using Polylang.
• Custom Post Type Support — Indexes all public post types by default.
• Zero External Dependencies — All assets (Alpine.js, uFuzzy, CSS) are self-hosted. No CDNs, no trackers.
