What this solution does
The Smart Catalog Search module by ClassnyiSait Labs resolves the common issue of standard search returning no results for valid queries.
This is a free solution with no time limits. All features are available immediately after installation without purchasing or activating a coupon.
Key capabilities:
- Commercial offers in search results are consolidated into parent product cards instead of being silently ignored.
- Search by article number works even outside the main search index. If a product is discontinued, the system displays a clear message stating "tovar snyat s prodazhi" (product removed from sale) and suggests similar items from the same category.
- When the morphological index yields no results, a fallback search activates across product names and article numbers with suffix trimming. For instance, the query "resnitsy" will find items titled "dlya resnits" (for eyelashes).
- The synonym map in settings corrects frequent colloquial spellings. A search for "rimuver" is automatically redirected to "remuver".
- The system corrects keyboard layout errors and typos. Inputting "[yf" finds "khna", while "rimen" finds "remen". This functionality operates by switching between qwerty and cyrillic layouts, combined with matching similar words via the title index.
- The live search bar (autocomplete) displays suggestions as products with images and prices, rather than showing only catalog sections.
The ClassnyiSait smart catalog search module includes two components: classnyisait:search.title for a live search input field and classnyisait:search.page for the results page. The results page displays products using the bitrix:catalog.section component within the site template. The iblock and search modules are required for operation. The catalog module is optional and is needed only if displaying prices and trade offers.
If “ClassnyiSait: Smart search for the catalog” is required, General iT can help with installation, configuration and a technical check after integration.
