    I’m looking for a restriction of the product search in the backend/admin. (Product search in frontend works fine.) When editing an order in Woocommerce backend it shows too many options (because most products are linked and named in related products). Basically a product search for titles only (no full text search) could solve the problem. Solution to add in theme’s function.php prefered.

    Thanks!

    Hi @noople,

    The easiest solution here is probably to search by more identifiable criteria – for instance, the product title, the variation title, a SKU, or the product ID.

    You could look at extending/modifying the search functionality using some code customization. Maybe this tutorial will help:

    Thanks Thomas for your reply! Unfortunately it’s tricky to find more specific criteria because products are linked between each other, so title and link are the same in actual product and the related product. At least if I add the variable title to product title and product variable I’m able to find varable products quit easy (Search Input looks like this then: NIKE COLOR RED instead of NIKE RED only). But for some simple products (where I only have the title a specific search value) it shows all product where the link to this product appears but not the actual product itself. So my admin product search should only search for product titles and product variables without the description. Do you have any idea how to do that? Thanks! Thomas

    @noople If you have not yet found a solution for this, you may need to seek out assistance from a developer. We suggest the resources here:

    Hi Jesse, thanks for your message! Unfortunately we have not found any solution for this. But since we work with a Point of Sale solution we can manage this problem using the product search from the POS-Plugin. This way we are able to find products quickly and we use ean codes now. So for most products we don’t need to search anymore. But I’m pretty shure there’s other users that would appreciate a good product search without the need of another plugin. Thanks!
