Auto complete showing variations

Noticed an issue with a site using this plugin

The autocomplete was recommending product varations
However the product variations didn’t show on the related products area

I fixed this by adjusting line 58 of /woocommerce-custom-related-products.php

<select class="wc-product-search" multiple="multiple" style="width: 50%;" id="related_ids" name="related_ids[]" data-placeholder="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search for a product&hellip;', 'woocommerce' ); ?>" data-action="woocommerce_json_search_products_and_variations" data-exclude="<?php echo intval( $post->ID ); ?>">

To

<select class="wc-product-search" multiple="multiple" style="width: 50%;" id="related_ids" name="related_ids[]" data-placeholder="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search for a product&hellip;', 'woocommerce' ); ?>" data-action="woocommerce_json_search_products" data-exclude="<?php echo intval( $post->ID ); ?>">

Can you update the core plugin to do likewise

Thanks for the great plugin
