The Index Needs Babysitting
After catalog changes the index has to be rebuilt, and with many products full indexing can take a while and load the store.

Product Search for PrestaShop
The built-in PrestaShop search needs constant index and alias maintenance, gets lost on typos, and says little about what customers are looking for. The LivBerry module replaces it with a search engine that understands queries and reports every search.
Sound familiar?
What Limits the Built-in PrestaShop Search
PrestaShop is a mature platform, but its search relies on a word index you have to maintain - and it still compares words instead of understanding what the customer is asking for.
-
-
Typos Require Manual Aliases
Every common mistake has to be added manually as an alias. A customer with a typo you didn't predict is greeted by an empty results page.
-
Tedious Weights Instead of Relevance
Configuring weights in the back office is laborious, and even then the most relevant products don't always land at the top of the list.
-
Scarce Search Data
Statistics end with a list of typed phrases. You don't know which products customers saw in the results or what they added to the cart.

A Search Engine That Understands Your Store's Customers
LivBerry combines classic word matching with understanding the meaning of the query. Customers can write their own way - with typos, colloquially, descriptively - and still see the right products.
-
Typos and Word Forms
"Wedding dres" will find formal dresses - without adding an alias for every possible mistake
-
Text, Semantic or Hybrid Mode
You choose how results are picked and change it with a single switch in the panel - no changes in your store
-
Always Up-to-Date Results
The catalog synchronizes automatically - no clicking "rebuild index" after product changes
Comparison
Built-in PrestaShop Search vs LivBerry
The LivBerry module doesn't patch the built-in search - it replaces it with a complete solution that works independently of your store.
