The module’s search mechanism is filter-based. Filters form the basis for successful layered navigation. They allow your customers to find products that match their search criteria with a minimum number of clicks.
Advanced Search 4 has been developed in order to provide short loading times, even for catalogues containing tens of thousands of products or categories.
Initial version published in 2010 - Winner of the Best Modules Awards en 2012 - Listed among the best-selling add-ons since 2010.
3 types of search are available to you:
- Search your entire catalogue: the search scope covers the entire catalogue.
- Search within a selection of products: the search scope covers the page the customer is currently visiting.
- Search by steps: criteria are refined and displayed as your customers specify their search.
In addition to its main features, the Advanced Search 4 module is also recognised as one of your best allies when it comes to referencing. It includes an optimised page generator for SEO, which allows you to increase your visibility without any duplicated content!
Behind all of these innovations, our objective always remains the same : to help you increase your rate of conversion and boost your sales !
