Why Woo stores still ship keyword-only search
Algolia bills; Elasticsearch is heavy; native WP search misses intent.
The Woo semantic search problem
Shoppers search with intent — not SKUs.
Algolia bills. Elasticsearch is ops-heavy. Native WP search is keyword-only.
- Algolia: relevance with SaaS cost
- Elasticsearch: infra burden for SMB stores
- Native WP: misses 'gift for runner' style queries
- No local query log in wp-admin
- No CLI / REST for agency catalog fleets
- No one-click vertical presets
The Volade answer
Local index, queries, suggestions — from wp-admin.
ASW stores documents and demo rankings locally, ships query logs and 4 presets — not Algolia.
- Dashboard Volade → Semantic Search
- Documents as indexed products
- Demo embeddings / similarity scores
- Query log + result snapshots
- Shortcodes [asw_search] and [asw_suggest]
- 4 presets: fashion-catalog, electronics-shop, grocery-local, agency-demo-catalog
