Hello, Opencart users and developers,
I am developing an e-commerce site using opencart 2.x
I need your help, to achieve advanced smart search and filter functionality for product search.

1. advance search dropdown for select search attributes
2. Price, color
3. smooth transaction of design and flow.
4. Ajax for avoiding page load

I have seen the same functionality in another extension like https://apps.shopify.com/product-filter-and-search

Please help me to find any open cart extension which will cover these functions. or any simple way to achieve this.
Also all functionality must support a mobile responsive view.


I appreciate your feedback and help.

I have two extensions that in conjunction can do this:

Smart Search or Smart Search Pro
and
Ultimate Filters Module

Ultimate Filters will automatically pull all attributes and options you've set up, you would just need to make sure you're using consistent attributes and options across your products. You can also use it without Smart Search, but the default search process in OpenCart isn't very strong, so if you want to help improve searches then you probably want to consider both.

Feel free to take a look at the screenshots and demo site, and if you're interested let me know at www.getclearthinking.com/contact if you have any questions.

The extension won't be *exactly* like the other one, but you can still put it horizontally. For example:

However, if you don't think the extension will work for you, then that's fine. Someone else may post in your topic with a suggestion, but you may want to try looking in the opencart.com marketplace for "filter module":

https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... /extension

If you can't find an extension in there, you may want to hire someone to create exactly what you need. If you need to find a developer, you can post a request in the OpenCart "Commercial Support" forum, which is checked by a number of OpenCart developers. You can also try checking out the OpenCart "Partners" area.
