    Hi,

    My website is now live, I have noticed that the search in header gives me products different to my search term?

    Please check private content for web address

    Thanks

    Please, contact administrator
    for this information.

    Hello,

    Search results can also show the products where “iPhone” title is present. If you want to search for iPhone 5 only you need write search query with quotes, for example "iPhone 5".

    Thank you.

    could something like this be put into this theme?

    http://docs.woothemes.com/document/woocommerce-product-search/

    seems more user responsive as the user types?

    Hello,

    You can edit the code in header.php file and replace our default search form with the code of a new plugin.

    Hello,

    You need edit the code on line 80:

    <?php if(etheme_get_option('search_form')): ?>
    <?php etheme_search_form(); ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

    Regards,

    Thank you Eva …. also

    How about calling the woosearch on the 404 error page, I think this would be a nice addition for anyone ending up there.

    What code would I add for that?
