Product catalogue search link controls in Elementor

Product chooses the current product or a selected one. Search sets what to search for (the name, first category, first tag or a typed term), the link text with {term} and {name}, a new-tab option and an optional icon. The Style tab covers typography, colours, background, border, radius, spacing, alignment, underline, link and hover colours, and the icon.

03 / Website use cases

Where to use product catalogue search link

A shopper who likes a product often wants to see more like it, but the way to related items is usually a menu away. Product catalogue search link puts a clear link next to the product: to a search for its name or a term you choose, or straight to the listing of its category or tag.

08 / Common setup problems

Troubleshoot product catalogue search link

Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.

Why does the name search open the product itself?

When a search finds only one product, WooCommerce opens it directly. Link to a category or tag to show a listing.

Why does nothing show for Its first category?

The product is only in Uncategorized, which is skipped. Add it to a real category.

Why do category and tag links not open a search?

WordPress search does not match category or tag names, so these link to the category or tag listing instead.

Why does nothing show on the page?

No public product is selected or current, or the typed term is empty.
