Search By Category is a free PrestaShop module that enhances the default search bar by letting customers filter their search by product category before or alongside entering a search term. By narrowing the search scope to a specific category first, customers in large stores with thousands of products can find what they need more quickly and with fewer irrelevant results. The search results are delivered via Ajax, avoiding full page reloads.

  • Category-filtered Ajax search that lets customers restrict results to a chosen category before searching by keyword
  • Ajax search results can display product images, prices, and ratings alongside product names, giving customers useful context at a glance
  • Helps reduce confusion caused by similarly named products spread across different categories

Search By Category is best suited for stores with large or varied product catalogs where the standard search bar returns too many results to browse effectively. Retailers organized around distinct product categories — such as brands, types, or departments — will find this module particularly useful for guiding customers to the right section before they search.
