Built to last

Fast on day one. Fast on day five hundred.

Glance is built to stay fast as your catalog grows and your store gets busier. No reconfiguration as you scale.

Fast even on busy stores

Glance uses WooCommerce’s own fast lane for search requests, not the slower admin path most plugins use. The result: results appear faster than your customer finishes typing.

Smart caching, no stale results

Repeat searches are answered from cache in under 5 milliseconds. When you edit a product, the cache refreshes automatically. Customers never see outdated prices or descriptions.

Loads only where it’s needed

Glance only adds its files to pages where the search bar appears. Your checkout, homepage, and product pages stay light. Files are minified in production. No bloat.

Built to behave in any theme

Defensive styling protects the search bar from aggressive themes. The dropdown stays accessible to screen readers and keyboard users. Search input is sanitized to keep your store safe.

Your store's search. Fixed.

Install the free version in 60 seconds. No configuration required. Works out of the box with any WooCommerce store.
