Setup WPSOLR and Google Retail search

You will learn how to create a Google Retail search API index for WooCommerce with a few clicks.

 

Google Retail search demo

You can try our live demo of Google Retail search with 2 thousand WooCommerce products

What is Google Retail search?

“The Retail API is a suite of solutions built to help you implement personalized search and recommendations, based on machine learning models, across your websites and mobile applications”.

WPSOLR implements the Retail search, not the Retail recommendations, nor the Retail personalization. Because the AI models that learn from the user behaviour to predict the best recommendations or personalization require a huge quantity of user events (2 millions in the last 90 days for search), that most of WooCommerce sites simply cannot provide. Contact us if you’d like us to implement it for you.

Create a GCP project with Retail search API authorization

3 – Google Retail dashboard

3.1 Catalog and branches

Consider your index as a catalog branch. After you index some WooCommerce products, the catalog branch will be filled with the products, their standard attributes and taxonomies, and also with the custom attributes you selected in screen 2.2

3.2 Events

WPSOLR does not collect nor send user events. Too many events are required to get acceptable recommendations or personalization (at least for small/medium WooCommerce sites).

3.3 Serving configs

Google Retail uses the notion of “Serving configs” to let users define several search configurations. By default, WPSOLR will use “default_search”.

Image wpsolr-google-retail-project-serving-configs-1024x343.png of Create a Google Retail search index

 

You can perform some searches with filters on the Serving configs “Evaluate” tab also:

You can customize your Serving configs by adding “Controls”, to filter, boost, or add synonyms to your search outside of WPSOLR:
