ATHENIAN PLUG-IN SYSTEM
Athenian Site Search gives WordPress and WooCommerce sites faster discovery across products, pages, posts, and platform content.

Live suggestions
Product discovery
Content search
Shortcode placement
Unified search experience
Show a header search dropdown with product results, plugin pages, posts, categories, thumbnails, filters, and no-result recommendations.
PRODUCT SNAPSHOT
Search that understands commerce and content together.
Athenian Site Search sits within the Data, Search & Growth and Storefront, Merchandising & Product Data layer, with Product Discovery & Catalog UX and Search, SEO & Product Discovery functions that can connect to adjacent commerce and operations workflows.
Best-fit workflow
Sites with large catalogs, platform pages, documentation, posts, service content, and products that need a single discovery surface.
Operational friction
Default WordPress search, isolated product search, slow result pages, missing thumbnails, and no-result dead ends.
Systems connected
WooCommerce products, pages, posts, custom post types, categories, tags, plugin pages, templates, shortcodes, widgets, and analytics events.
Business result
Visitors can find products, platform capabilities, services, and content without knowing where each object type lives.
