Search products by more than one tag at once
The default cloud tag in Shop-Script allows a customer to select only one tag to find associated products. "Search by tags" plugin allows you to select multiple tags to make your search more precise or more broad.
Works on any apps’ pages. Shows results on selected Shop-Script storefront.
How it works
Precise search
The plugin will add a special tag cloud to your storefront. The cloud will contain nice bright labels instead of ordinary links. Every label can be selected or deselected. If you click on a tag label, the plugin shows you how many products are associated with that tag. When you click on another tag label, you will see how many products are associated with both of selected tags. The more tag labels you select, the narrower becomes your search and the less products remain for you to choose from. This is how a customer can quickly find the products he is looking for.
Example
Suppose you have products with the following tags:
— Product1: "for kids", "sports"
— Product2: "for kids", "school"
If a customer selects ibly one tag "for kids", then both products will be shown, because the selected tag is associated with both of them. If a customer then selects one more tag; e.g., "sports", then only Product1 will be shown, because both selected tags are associated with this product only.
In the precise search mode, the more tags a customer selects, the less products are found.
Broad search
The plugin also allows different search behavior (available via settings): When a customer selects additional tags, he is offered all products which have at least one of those tags.
Example
With the same products, suppose that a customer first selects the "sports" tag and is shown only Product1 as usual. Then a customer also selects the "school" tag. With the broad search enabled, a customer will be offered both of these products.
In the broad search mode, the more tags a customer selects, the more products are found.
Which search mode is most suitable for my online store: precise or broad?
The search mode choice depends on the type and amount of products available in your store. If you have a large number of similar products; e.g., mobile phones, then precise search would be most useful for customers to quickly find exactly what they are looking for.
If you are selling rather few and very different products; e.g., gifts for various occasions, then it would be better to enable broad search to offer as many as possible products for selected tags for customers to choose from.
