ACE Product Filters started after years of testing other WooCommerce filter plugins, including paid options, and still not finding one that handled the full workflow cleanly. It began as a filter system built to cover real storefront needs end to end, and once it proved reliable, it was shared so other store owners and builders could use the same approach.<\/p>\n\n
ACE Product Filters gives you a practical way to build WooCommerce filters once and reuse them across your storefront \u2014 and now also an instant product search you can drop into headers, homepages, and landing pages.<\/p>\n\n
Create saved filter sets for categories, global attributes, product taxonomies, price ranges, on sale, stock status, rating, and featured products. Style them to match your store, and place them individually or inside reusable filter panels. When shoppers need to jump straight to a product instead of narrowing a grid, add a dedicated Product search: typeahead matching on product name and optional SKU, with a dropdown that shows image, name, and price.<\/p>\n\n
Whether you are building a shop sidebar, a top bar, a header search, or a custom Elementor layout, you can keep the experience consistent without rebuilding the same setup for every page.<\/p>\n\n
Instant product search (new in 1.3)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Filters and panels<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The free plugin already includes:<\/p>\n\n Use one saved filter when you need a focused control, or combine multiple saved filters into a panel for a complete storefront filtering experience. Product search is separate on purpose: place it where shoppers should find a product quickly, without changing how your shop grid filters work.<\/p>\n\n Placement options:<\/p>\n\n Need filters for posts, pages, or custom post types as well? ACE Content Filters<\/strong> is a separate free plugin for site content \u2014 taxonomy, search, author, and date filters, plus instant content search. You can find it at https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/ace-content-filters\/<\/p>\n\n Shortcodes:<\/p>\n\n Instant product search<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Shoppers type a product name (or SKU), pick a match from the dropdown, and go straight to the product page. Optional \u201cView all\u201d opens your theme\u2019s WooCommerce product search results. This does not filter the shop grid, and it is separate from in-filter term search inside long filter lists.<\/p>\n\n ACE Product Filters can optionally load Google Fonts stylesheets only when a site owner enables Google Fonts loading in the plugin settings and uses Google Font families in filter designs, product search designs, or live preview.<\/p>\n\n By default, ACE Product Filters does not request Google Fonts on the frontend or in the plugin admin.<\/p>\n\n These requests can happen on ACE Product Filters admin pages and on frontend pages where ACE Product Filters output is rendered.<\/p>\n\n Service provider:<\/p>\n\n What may be sent:<\/p>\n\n Service terms and policies:<\/p>\n\n Yes. The free plugin already includes unlimited saved category, attribute, product taxonomy, price, on sale, stock status, rating, and featured filters, saved filter panels, instant product search, AJAX updates, styling controls, mobile panel settings, and Elementor support.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Elementor is supported through dedicated widgets for filters, panels, and product search. The plugin also works with shortcodes in regular site pages, widgets, and template areas.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Enable AJAX and enter one stable CSS selector for the shared results wrapper.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Create saved filter sets individually, then group them into saved filter panels for sidebars, top bars, or multi-filter layouts.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. It is designed for WooCommerce archive filtering and can also be placed on custom pages.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Create a Product search from the dashboard, then place it with Yes. In the Product search editor, use Limit results to, choose a taxonomy (categories, tags, attributes, or another product taxonomy), and tick the terms this box should stay inside. Leave it on All products to search the whole catalog.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. ACE Product Filters is built for WooCommerce product catalogs \u2014 price, stock, attributes, and shop archives. For posts, pages, and other site content, use ACE Content Filters, a separate free plugin at https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/ace-content-filters\/<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. They are two separate free plugins with different jobs. When both are active, the admin sidebar shows ACE Filters with Products and Contents children.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. At the moment, deleting the plugin does not automatically remove saved filter sets, filter panels, product searches, or related display settings from the database.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n \u2022 New: Instant Product Search \u2014 typeahead search for headers, homepages, and landing pages, with a styled dropdown showing image, name, price, and optional SKU.\n\u2022 New: ACE Content Filters is now available as a separate free plugin for posts, pages, and custom post types.
