Why PrestaShop's Default Search Isn't Enough

PrestaShop's built-in MySQL search was designed to be functional - not to convert. These are the four failure modes merchants hit most.

One typo = zero results
MySQL matches strings, not meanings. A single spelling mistake - "Bosch dril", "Samsng" - returns nothing. Buyers leave. You lose the sale. There is no recovery.
No search analytics
You have no visibility into what your customers are searching for, which queries fail, or what products they can't find. You're flying blind on your highest-leverage customer interaction.
Technical queries fail
Product codes, multi-attribute queries ("Makita 18V brushless"), and spec-based searches all break the default engine. Professional buyers and repeat customers give up fastest.
No merchandising control
You can't boost in-stock products, promote new arrivals, or surface high-margin SKUs through the search results. The algorithm decides - not your business strategy.

What BRADsearch Adds to Your PrestaShop Store

A complete smart search layer that replaces PrestaShop's default - without touching your theme or requiring developer time.

Smart Search Engine
Handles search queries across all fields (including product codes, attributes and variants) with flexible matching - giving relevant results in various situations.
Visual Autocomplete
Product images and names appear from the first keystroke. Buyers confirm they've found the right product before they even hit search. Reduces zero-result exits immediately.
Typo Tolerance
"Millwaukee" becomes Milwaukee. "velvet corst" returns velvet corset results. Configurable typo tolerance handles multi-character errors. Customers always find what they're looking for.
Analytics Dashboard
Every query visible. Zero-result events flagged. Seasonal demand signals. Catalogue gap analysis. You see exactly what customers are looking for - and where you're losing them.
Merchandising Controls
Boost in-stock products first. Surface new arrivals. Promote high-margin SKUs within relevant queries. Pin specific products to campaign positions. Your strategy, your results.
Multi-Language Support
Per-language indexing for EU stores running in 2, 3, or more languages. Each language gets its own optimised search index. No cross-language contamination in results.
