Hi,
We have added some checks in the plugin for Mitigating Site Search Vulnerabilities. These checks don’t allow searching through sensitive and vulnerable information like URLs, email addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, and certain types of characters. These are added to adhere to high-security standards w.r.t to personal data.
That is the reason your Woocommerce search appears broken. One possible way of handling this is to search for partial text addresses, like if you want to search for an email address ‘[email protected]’, you can search for ‘hello@gmail’ instead. Similarly, for URLs, you can search for ‘example.com’ instead of ‘https://www.example.com’.
Apart from these suggestions, if you like to search using a complete email or domain, please add the following code in the functions.php file of your current active theme and it’ll disable these checks.
global $siq_plugin;
if( !empty( $siq_plugin ) ){
remove_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, array( $siq_plugin, ‘filter_search_query’) );
}
