SPP Native Core SKU Search
Extend WordPress storefront search to match WooCommerce product SKUs from the _sku metadata field.
Overview
SPP Native Core SKU Search is a highly efficient database optimization utility designed to bridge a critical functional gap in default WordPress and WooCommerce setups. By default, the native WordPress search engine completely ignores product stock keeping units (SKUs) because it only queries primary content fields like post titles and body text. This forces customers who search using exact catalog numbers to face empty results screens, which directly leads to lost sales and poor user experience. This plugin solves the problem by modifying the database query structure behind the scenes. By dynamically linking SKU metadata directly to standard search queries, the plugin ensures shoppers can instantly locate precise products using only their unique identification codes.
