The Advanced Search plugin has been retired. Everything it did is now built into Orbit under Settings, then Search, on every store. You do not need to install anything, and there is nothing to pay.

Where each feature went

  • Visibility rules: hide chosen products, categories or tagged products from search results and suggestions for an audience you pick. Now under Visibility rules on the Search page.
  • Suggestion keywords: your own words that appear as search suggestions. Now under Keywords and redirects.
  • Redirects: send an exact search straight to a page. Now under Keywords and redirects.
  • Test what shoppers see: now the Preview section on the same page.

For the steps, see Controlling storefront search.

Note: If the plugin still shows in your Plugins list, it is inactive and can be uninstalled. Your rules were kept and appear on the Search page.
