Fast, typo-proof search for WordPress and WooCommerce
Built-in WordPress search misses typos, SKUs and custom fields, and gets slower as your site grows. SearchJet replaces it with instant, AI-ranked results and AI answers from a hosted search engine, installed as a free plugin.
- Free for 10,000 searches a month
- No credit card
- 14-day refund on paid plans
SearchJet: 2 results. Built-in WordPress search: 0 results.

Sample catalog for this demo. Typo matching, SKU search and meaning-based matches work the same way on your own store.
What built-in search gets wrong
WordPress and WooCommerce search for the exact words you type, in your own database. That causes three problems.
Typos return nothing
A shopper misspells one letter and sees an empty page, even though you sell exactly what they want.
SKUs and custom fields are ignored
Built-in search looks at titles and text, not SKUs, attributes or the custom fields where your real data lives.
It slows down as you grow
Every search is a query on your own server, so a large catalog makes search slower and adds load to your site.
Built for the site you run
One search engine, three ways in.
Content sites and blogs
Instant results across posts, pages and custom post types, with typo tolerance and language filtering for WPML sites.
WordPress search pluginWooCommerce stores
Search by product name, SKU, category and stock status, with images and prices right in the results.
WooCommerce searchDevelopers
Query the same index with one REST call from Next.js, Astro or any other stack.
GET /api/v1/search?q=hoodieAPI documentationAI that answers questions, not only keywords
Visitors ask in their own words. SearchJet understands what they mean, answers from your content, and lets AI agents search your site too.
Search by meaning
Hybrid ranking mixes keyword and semantic matching, so “something warm for winter” finds coats and hats. Included on every paid plan.
AI answers above the results
A short answer written from your matching content. 50 a month on the free plan, more on paid plans.
Ready for AI agents
Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients can search your site through SearchJet’s MCP server.

Shown the way your visitors see it.
Results as you type
A dropdown fills in with every keystroke, with images, prices and highlighted matches.
Typo tolerance
Misspellings and swapped letters still find the right page or product.
SKUs, categories and stock
Shoppers search by SKU or name, and stock status shows in the result.
Always up to date
Changes sync when you publish, update or delete, with no cron jobs or manual re-indexing.
See what people can’t find
Analytics show top searches and zero-result queries, so you know what to add or rename.
Multilingual with WPML
Each post’s language is detected, and visitors only see results in theirs.

No server to run and no code to write.

Questions people ask
Will it slow down my site?
No. Searches run on SearchJet’s servers instead of your WordPress database, and results return in under 150 ms (p95).
Does it work with my theme?
It takes over the standard WordPress search form, so it works with themes that use it. You can also place it with a shortcode and restyle it with your own CSS.
Does it search WooCommerce SKUs?
Yes. The plugin indexes product names, SKUs, prices, categories and stock status.
What happens when I reach my plan’s limit?
Your usage is shown in the dashboard. At the monthly limit, search requests are refused until you upgrade or the month resets.
Can I stop using it later?
Yes. Deactivate the plugin and WordPress goes back to its built-in search. Paid plans are monthly, with a 14-day refund.
