    Hi there,
    When using the search bar, the system does not return results based on product subcategories. For example, when entering a keyword that matches a subcategory name (e.g. “Industrial Vacuum Cleaners”), the search shows “No results were found,” even though products exist within that subcategory.

    Looking forward to your guidance.

    Hello @Jasmina,

    The “Recommended for You” section is not generated automatically based on your product categories. It is configured manually in the Search options. If you would like to add more “Recommended for You” examples, please adjust the settings in XStore Builders -> Header Builder -> Edit with Elementor -> Header Ajax Search -> https://prnt.sc/MJBiX39CDkB1.

    Regarding the search results, they are generated based on the post types set in the widget, such as posts, products, product variations, or pages (https://prnt.sc/ZUbPi7sZWaPx). Please note that the search does not include product categories or subcategories.

    Best regards,
