Overlay and selectors
Open Inference Works → Search → Settings. Under Search fields → Additional fields, add the CSS selector of your theme’s search field if it is not detected automatically.
The plugin always includes input[name="s"], .search-field and .woocommerce-product-search input. An example additional selector is .header-search input — use it only if it matches the actual field in your theme.
Any element with data-infs-open opens the overlay. Add data-infs-ignore to a field or its parent to exclude that field.
Appearance and behaviour
Choose an accent colour and recommended products: bestsellers, largest discounts, newest products or a manual selection. Category, price and availability filters can be enabled or disabled. Voice search is optional, off by default, and depends on browser speech recognition support.
Your theme can set these CSS variables: --infs-accent, --infs-radius, --infs-font, --infs-bg, --infs-text, --infs-muted, --infs-border, --infs-hover, --infs-sale.
See all results and Enter open the normal WooCommerce results page with the same ranking. Selected overlay filters are preserved. On a phone, the back button closes the overlay.
Synonyms
In the synonyms tab, enter one group per line with equivalent terms separated by commas, such as skimmer, protein skimmer. Save and test both terms in your store. Group names that actually refer to the same product. The engine handles typos, Polish inflection and missing diacritics; you do not need a synonym for every word form.
Statistics
The Insights tab shows top searches for the last 30 days, searches with no results and click-through rate (CTR). You can hide a query from popular searches and export data to CSV. Searches without results help identify missing synonyms or products.
Statistics store anonymous phrase and click counters, without IP addresses, user accounts or sessions. Daily figures are deleted after 90 days. Rate limiting uses a salted IP hash in a transient for one minute. Pro adds search revenue analytics, a weekly report and synonym suggestions.
