This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

WooCommerce Order Search Admin

ཞིབ་བརྗོད།

This plugin will power the WooCommerce orders search input with an autocompleted search field providing results as you type in milliseconds regardless of how much orders you have in your database.

When you start having lots of orders in WooCommerce, searching for a specific order can become very slow and time-consuming.

Fun fact is also that the more you have orders, the more you will need to search for a specific one.

We have seen users wait for over a minute for WooCommerce to return the search results in the admin.
And even after that long waiting time, given that the default search mechanism uses SQL queries, the relevancy isn’t optimal and you often need to adjust your search query and wait again.

By installing this plugin, you will be able to index all your orders into Algolia and be able to find orders at the speed of thought, right from your usual orders list in the admin screen of your WordPress website.

You can find orders by typing just a few characters.
The search engine will search on the following fields:

  • Order Number (Has been tested with plugins like WooCommerce Sequential Order Numbers )
  • Customer First Name
  • Customer Last Name
  • Customer email address
  • Billing First Name
  • Billing Last Name
  • Billing email address
  • Billing Phone number
  • Billing Company
  • Billing Address 1
  • Billing Address 2
  • Billing City
  • Billing State
  • Billing Postcode
  • Billing Country
  • Shipping First Name
  • Shipping Last Name
  • Shipping Company
  • Shipping Address 1
  • Shipping Address 2
  • Shipping City
  • Shipping State
  • Shipping Postcode
  • Shipping Country
  • Product SKU contained in the order
  • Status of the order

As you start typing in the search input, you will see instant results popping up inside of a dropdown menu and you will
be able to find the proper order in milliseconds.

Also note that by leveraging Algolia as a search engine, in addition to super fast results as you type, you will
also benefit from all the other features like typo tolerance that will make sure that if you misspell for example the customer name, you will still get the relevant orders displayed as part of the results.

Automatic synchronization

After you correctly provided the plugin with your Algolia credentials, the plugin will take care of making sure
the search index stays up to date with your WooCommerce orders.

Every time an order is added, updated, trashed or deleted, it will synchronize with Algolia.

Note, however, that when you first initialize the plugin, you need to index your existing orders.

WP-CLI command

The plugin also offers a WP-CLI command to allow you to reindex your orders directly from the
terminal.

Here is how to use it:

wp orders reindex

Please note that at no point you are forced to use the command line tool and that the admin settings screen
of the plugin also allows you to reindex all your orders.

The command line approach is an excellent technical alternative though if you have over 50 thousands of records and you want to speed up the indexing.

Note that there is no limit to how many orders this plugin can handle, and indexing will work with both indexing methods;
powered by the UI or by using the WP-CLI command line tool.

The only limitation of the admin UI reindexing is that you have to leave the page open during the reindexing
process.

Backend Order Search

By default, the plugin enhances the default backend search behavior by using Algolia.
This ensures a consistency between results you see in the list and the ones coming from the autocomplete dropdown.
If for whatever reason you want to restore the default backend search behavior, you can use the wc_osa_enable_backend_search filter hook.

function should_enable_backend_search( $value, WP_Query $query ) {
    return false;
}

add_filter( 'wc_osa_enable_backend_search', 'should_enable_backend_search', 10, 2 );

Configuration constants

By default, you can configure the plugin on the included options page, but you can also configure the plugin by using one (or more) of the following constants in your wp-config.php.
When you use constants, the corresponding option fields will be disabled on the options page.

define( 'WC_OSA_ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_ID', '<value>' );
define( 'WC_OSA_ALGOLIA_SEARCH_API_KEY', '<value>' );
define( 'WC_OSA_ALGOLIA_ADMIN_API_KEY', '<value>' );
define( 'WC_OSA_ORDERS_INDEX_NAME', 'wc_orders' );
define( 'WC_OSA_ORDERS_PER_BATCH', 200 );

About Algolia

This plugin relies on the Algolia service which requires you to create an account.
Algolia offers its Search as a Service provider on an incremental payment program, including a free plan which includes 10,000 records & 100,000 operations per month.
Beyond that, make sure you check out the pricing.

This plugin will create precisely one record per order to index. We index every order that is not flagged as trashed.

Algolia does not support this plugin.

The preferred way of submitting issues or feature requests is through the GitHub repository.

Super fast, easy installation, it will make you save a lot of time. The woo search is prehistorical, take it into the present day with this plugin!

I upgraded this review to 5 after talking to the developer about some excellent improvements. The plugin now can search by all the individual shipping fields (except State/County which is coming soon). It searches by SKU and product name (if you add item.name to the searchable attributes from the Algolia dashboard). The pagination has some qwerks but he’s working on that too. Overall this is a huge improvement on Woo’s built in order search and the support from Raymond has been exceptional. Well done!

There were times when we had to wait nearly a minute to search an order with WooCommerce 2.6. Even with WooCommerce 3.0’s improved indexing and our own custom optimizations, we had to wait +/- 10 seconds to search for an order. This plugin will show you the search result as soon as you type the first letter! And as you are probably aware, since WooCommerce 3.0 you cannot search orders only by first names anymore but you can do that with this plugin! Their support is out of this world too. I submitted a ticket about the issues we were facing and feature suggestions around the new year’s eve then everything was solved on 2 January!! Thank you very much Raymond for taking the user feedback seriously. I wish I could give this plugin 10 stars! This is a must plugin for every WooCommerce user out there.

Very quick to sync orders from WooCommerce to Algolia. Order search powered by Algolia is so much faster than native searching for orders.
