Storefront Popover
When Live Search is installed, a popover appears in the storefront when shoppers type in the Search box. With each character typed, the popover is updated with suggested products and thumbnail images of the top search results.
Live Search returns results for a query of two characters or more. For a partial match, the maximum number of characters per word is 20. The number of characters in a “search as you type” query is not configurable.
By default, Live Search supports search term redirects.
Popover page size
The page size of the popover determines how many lines of autocompleted products can be returned. During the Live Search installation, the page_size
value changes to the current value of the Catalog Search - Autocomplete Limit
setting.
By default, the Catalog Search - Autocomplete Limit value is set to eight lines (or rows). To change the page size of the popover, do the following:
- On the Admin sidebar, go to Stores > Settings > Configuration.
- In the left panel, expand Catalog and choose Catalog from the list of settings.
- Expand the Catalog Search section.
- Set the Autocomplete Limit to the number of lines that you want to allow in the popover.
- When complete, click Save Config.
Styling Popover example
You can customize the look and feel of the Popover widget to match your company’s style and branding guidelines.
The storefront popover always displays the product name
and price
, and the selection of fields is not configurable. However, popover elements can be styled using classes. For example, the following declarations change the background color of the popover container and footer.
.livesearch.popover-container {
background-color: lavender;
}
.livesearch.view-all-footer {
background-color: magenta;
}
Container visibility
The parent component of the .livesearch.popover-container
is .search-autocomplete
. The .active
class indicates the visibility of the container. The .active
class is conditionally added when the popover is open.
.search-autocomplete.active /* visible */
.search-autocomplete /* not visible */
