Smart Search Chips

Smart Search Chips is a WordPress plugin designed to enhance search functionality by adding clickable filter chips to search results. This tool enables site visitors to refine their search outcomes without having to rewrite queries, streamlining the process of finding relevant content or products. The plugin is suitable for shops, catalogs, and content-heavy sites, offering guided browsing experiences on search results pages, live search surfaces, and category or archive pages.

The plugin allows administrators to add and manage chips directly within the WordPress editor, tagging posts or products with relevant terms. Chips can be created using the built-in editor, pulled from WooCommerce attributes, or mapped from custom fields. As visitors type in the search box, relevant chips appear and can be clicked to further narrow results. The chips remain visible and active, ensuring that filtered URLs are shareable and browser navigation works as expected.

Smart Search Chips offers both a free and a Pro version. The free tier includes live search chips, search results and category page filtering, a built-in chip editor, WooCommerce support, compatibility with Relevanssi search scoring, and controls for chip color and style. org. The Pro version, priced at $49 per year for one site, adds advanced features such as an analytics dashboard to track chip usage and search trends, connectors for ACF and custom fields, numeric range slider chips, synonym rules, manual chip curation, authenticated REST access for chip rules, AI-assisted tag workflows, and commercial support.

The tool is managed entirely within the WordPress environment and requires no coding. It is aimed at store owners, content managers, and teams seeking to improve guided search and conversion on their WordPress or WooCommerce sites. Smart Search Chips positions itself as a solution for turning flat search and archive listings into interactive, user-friendly browsing experiences.
