Block Widgets
↑ Back to topThe WooCommerce Product Search extension comes with an exclusive set of blocks that are used with the Block Widgets Editor. They are available anywhere blocks can be used, including the WordPress Editor, Widgets and the Customizer.
Please refer to the Blocks section of the documentation for details.
Legacy Widgets
↑ Back to topWe will be looking at two classes of widgets that the extension provides.
- Product Search Field — The widget used to display a live Product Search Field. This renders an input field which shows matching results while the customer types. By default, it displays the product title, a short description, the price of the product and shows a button that allows to add it to the cart. It makes a lot of sense to show this anywhere on your site and allow your customers to search and add products to the cart very easily.
- Product Filter — The widgets used to display live Product Filters. These are used to update the results shown on the shop page live, while the customer types or chooses filter criteria and without the need to reload the page. These widgets should be used with the shop page, as the live filtering functions will refine and update the products displayed on it. They will also work with product category pages and similar ones. These widgets will display on relevant shop pages only by default.
Using the available Widgets
↑ Back to topTo use any widget on your site, from your WordPress Dashboard go to Appearance > Widgets and locate the desired widget in the Available Widgets section. Alternatively, you can use the Assistant to add one or more of the live Product Filter widgets in one go.

Click the widget, then click one of the sidebar options that appear below and then click Add Widget. You can also drag and drop the widget onto one of the available sidebars.
