The Elevated Product Search index is a dedicated data structure that stores extracted product text outside of WooCommerce’s default tables. This separation is what enables fast, typo-tolerant results. The index builds automatically when settings change, but you can force manual rebuilds after bulk imports or schedule them for large catalogs. Here you’ll learn how the indexer works, when to intervene, and how queries are processed against indexed data.
Learn how the indexer extracts product data, when it rebuilds automatically, and what triggers a manual or scheduled rebuild.
Manually trigger a full index rebuild after bulk imports, external data changes, or Search Scope updates.
Set the indexer to rebuild automatically on a schedule so large catalogs stay current without manual intervention.
See how customer queries are processed, how multi-word searches behave, how results are ranked, and where the “See all products” link leads.
