Improved Woocommerce search results in Divi WordPress

Reigel Gallarde comments:

to do this, you need to add
<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="product" />
in your search form...

Reigel Gallarde comments:

alternatively, you can use "WooCommerce Product Search" widget instead of the default "Search" widget... to do so, please navigate to Appearance > Widgets... then replace the Search widget with "WooCommerce Product Search" widget.

Hi Reigel,

Ok thanks, I didn't know that, that's pretty neat.

But what if a customer is searching for - let's say - an article from our blog. Then I would need to have a search form for general search and one for product search only, or?

Reigel Gallarde comments:

if you want to retain the current functionality of your search, you will need to modify or makge a good search.php file... would not be easy to make on my opinion.

you can also have a dropdown that can choose what to search, a product or blog... which is easier...

but yeah, the easiest is to have two search form...

Reigel Gallarde comments:

for the dropdown, you can try adding this code on your functions.php

function my_search_form( ) {
ob_start();
$post_type = isset($_GET['post_type'])?$_GET['post_type']:'';
?>
<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" class="searchform" action="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>">
<div>
<label class="screen-reader-text" for="s"><?php _x( 'Search for:', 'label' ); ?></label>
<select class="searchfor">
<option value="" <?php selected( $post_type , '' ); ?>>Website Search</option>
<option value="product" <?php selected( $post_type , 'product' ); ?>>Product Search</option>
</select>
<input type="text" value="<?php echo get_search_query(); ?>" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="hidden" class="post_type_search" name="" value="product" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="<?php echo esc_attr_x( 'Search', 'submit button' ); ?>" />
</div>
</form>
<script>
jQuery(function($){
$(document.body).on('change', '.searchfor', function(){
this.name = (this.value == 'product')?'post_type':'';
});
});
</script>
<?php
return ob_get_clean();
}

add_filter( 'get_search_form', 'my_search_form', 20 );
