Duplicated search result
-
Hi. When searching for a product (woocommerce search widget) with terms that point to both portuguese (default lang) and english (second lang) the search results show both products, as if they were separate things, instead of only showing the result in the active language. This leads the costumer to a very confusing place.
For example: https://www.ankurprem.com.br/catprod/cattestept/
CatTestePt is the category in portuguese
CatTesteEn is the category in english
The product Testeprod01 have both portuguese and english versions (same name).If I search for “Test” (a part of the products title present in both languages – could be the whole name also) it only shows in the result the product in the active language – awesome!
But…
If I use tags (installed the plugin “Search By Product tag – for Woocommerce” so the search uses the tags too), the same not happens. For example, in the portuguese product version I have the tags [aranha, lycosa] and in the english version, their traduction [spider, lycosa], since lycosa is a name.
Lets suppose I have the portuguese language active. If I search for “aranha”, great, the portuguese version appears. If I search for “spider”, now it can be problematic, because the search returns the english product, but for a portuguese costumer (in this case they shouldn’t be using an english tag, of course, but many terms exist in both languages, and the user getting redirected for an english version of the site without no warning is not so friendly). And the worst picture: if the costumer search for “lycosa”, now both versions are found… “what is it? different products? same product? wow, why suddenly the site changed the language?”.
Got the point?
I don’t know, but I think its not so complicated to resolve this issue – since the products title are showing the results properly, in the correct (active) language only.
Anyway, despite of that, I think you’ve done a great job and this is the better and most intelligent plugin for Woo+Pol available! I’m already giving 5 stars and a endorsement.
