Hi @steveindzine, thanks for flagging. It sounds like something in the latest woocommerce must have changed how the search queries work. I can’t guarantee any timelines on fixing this issue but I am registering here that I’m aware of the issue and plan to fix it.

@brennino Also, thanks for flagging. If you want to take a look at the code it is here and PR’s welcome: https://github.com/matthewlawson/search-by-sku-for-woocommerce

The latest version has added compatibility back for woocommerce 5.5.0

I would appreciate if you can update your site and this review.

Thanks,

Matt

A fix has been released to maintain compatibility with Woocommerce 5.5.0. Please upgrade.

If you are getting value from the plugin, reviews are welcome ??

Hi,

The plugin will only add extra load to your site when a search happens. So it won’t have any impact on a regular page load or your pagespeed insights.

Thanks for creating the thread @johnson0118

We will investigate and create a fix in the next few days.

Yes, testing has just completed on the latest woocommerce.

A new minor update is coming to indicate the supported versions.

Try the latest version 0.7.0, it was released a few days ago

Hi @mstudioil I tried to reproduce this but the search worked fine for me with a fresh woocommerce / wordpress install. Do you have any other search or caching related plugins activated?

I have an update coming in a few days that fixes some bugs relating to searching for multiple products. It’s possible this could fix your issue depending on your setup.

I am glad your issue is fixed now. The plugin doesn’t do anything when activated or deactivated so sounds like it was the cache.

Let me know if anything comes up in the future.

Ok, I will try and reproduce something later this week just to be clear before I try and reproduce.

You have 2 products with this structure:
Product one
— Variation has SKU ECU0502-238

Product Two
— Variation has SKU ECU0502-000

A search for ECU0502 returns Product two but not Product one?

Do the top level products also have an SKU (In the inventory tab)?

Yes, if you search for ECU0502 or the exact SKU ECU0502-238 it should appear in your search results. Is this not happening?

The plugin will search back and front end.

It does a fuzzy search at the start and end of the search term. For example:

You have a product with SKU WP1234
Search for WP12 <- SUCCESS
Search for 1234 <- SUCCESS
Search for WP <- SUCCESS

However if all of the search term does not appear inside the SKU it will not return, for example:
Search for WP12345 <- FAIL
Search for WP01234 <- FAIL

I hope that is a bit clearer which conditions the plugin will find your product.

Do you have any other search related or caching plugins active? If you do, you could disable those one by one to try and narrow down which may be interfering with my plugin.

In the past relenvassi has interfered with this plugin.

If it is another plugin that is interfering then let me know here and I can try and fix it.

Hi @mstudioil I am currently preparing an update for this plugin.

It will search the backend and still works with the most recent wordpress & woocommerce.

Hi @scottsawyer I am Matthew Lawson, I wrote the original plugin.

This plugin is not related to my work it is a blatant copy/paste/republish. No additional functionality has been added.
