Hi.
I would like to include a Product Finder on my website and the search result below. I do not want to use a standard search (by typing the word in the search engine), but need a search engine that works by selecting from a drop-down list of specific parameters. Just like on ebay if you are looking for car parts.
I understand that I need to operate on a database.
I’ve been doing research for 2 weeks now and it’s getting worse. I have already checked Gravity Home + Gravity Kit + Gravity Wizzard and Formdable. It seems to me that these plugins are not really designed for what I need.
Can you recommend any good plugins that work in WP and are able to build such a search engine?
I am not aware of any search plugins with such granular control. I would imagine it would be quite a complex job to custom code a plugin for this.
What you are looking for is called a Faceted Search. There’s 2 big plugins for WP that do it well. One is FacetWP and the other is Search and Filter Pro. Read the documentation for both and decide which is best for your use case. I personally use FacetWP because the code is well written, easy to extend, and well documented.
FacetWP, Search and Filter Pro, WP Grid Builder, all do this.
