The search functionality in woocommerce doesn’t search by product tags by default. I’ve installed this plugin some weeks ago and it works fine for me : https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-by-product-tags-for-woocommerce/ Hope it can help…
Thanks for the tip. However, you might want to be careful with this one. I tried it and it gave me a fatal error (memory allowance) when searching for very generic tags like ‘man’ or ‘woman’. It worked well with more specific search keywords. I have 256MB memory limit with about 2600 images.
Yeah I steered clear of this one too as it hadn’t been updated in something like 2 years.

Amazing, thanks for that I hadn’t realised that wasn’t a feature of woo. I must have just chanced upon searches that worked ages ago, but I have installed a plugin called “advanced woo search” and its working! Thanks for the tip
Which setting exactly? Is it:
“Symbiostock related products”
hey robin, thanks for the input. Unfortunately that can’t be the case, as I can search for images which have been online for weeks and they won’t show. Some terms work, some terms don’t. Its weird.
My developer will take a look tomorrow. If he thinks its symbio related ill let you know.
Has anyone else noticed any weirdness since wordpress 4.4.2?
Just started having problems with search, using the standard Woocommerce search widget. I haven’t done the woo commerce update, but my site did auto update to wordpress 4.4.2
Search will work fine for some tags, but for others (than clearly exist) it returns no results at all.
It was working fine a week or two ago. Anyone else finding issues after the latest wordpress update?
Anyone updated to 2.5 successfully? Any update on if its safe to do so? Major changes seem to be speed related, which would be great.
Also under the Yoast – Advanced – Permalinks tabs you might want to consider (for those using it) ticking the “Redirect attachment URL’s to parent post URL” option, from what I understand, as WordPress makes a ‘post’ of every image uploaded, which is just an ugly, useless page with a small image on it which can be indexed by Google. We don’t want people landing there, rather on the product page.
Do I understand that correctly, Robin?
Well if nothing else we got a conversation going! 🙂
So %%excerpt%% works it seems, but for some reason it doesn’t show up the detail in the snippet preview on the product page. But when I inspect a published page it is showing the right info in the meta description field in the header, so thats good.
The down side is, being auto-generated you can’t really control too much what gets put in there. It seems from some of my indexed images in Google it has grabbed all sorts of data like price, tags etc. to fill the space. So a more foolproof method would be to put the image description into the Product Short Description field upon upload automatically, then use the %%excerpt_only%% variable which forces only the excerpt to be used.
Also, same with what amazeindesign said earlier, wouldn’t it be great if upon upload the images meta description got used as the alt tag for all of the media related to it, rather than at the moment it seems its just using the image title for both Title and Alt tags.
I guess what I’m saying is, all the media we upload has meta data embedded in it. So is there some ways we can better use that automatically for SEO? Open to ideas…
Thanks for your responses Robin.
As for the first one, does %%description%% work for anyone else with Yoast SEO? It does nothing for me and I cannot see it listed as a variable on their page: http://kb.yoast.com/article/146-yoast-wordpress-seo-titles-metas-template-variables – thus my suggestion
One additional thing too: site:www.microstockman.com look at it in Google images to see only my sites images. Click on a bunch of the stock ones and you’ll see quite often the name and description doesn’t match the image. Its grabbing wrong data and applying it to the image. I think its getting it from the related images section of the product page, and even from sidebars where I display some images next to blog posts.
Anyone else found the same? Thoughts?
Hey Robin,
I am watching Symzio with interest at this stage, but haven’t quite made up my mind yet to be honest. There are a couple of things I’m not sold on yet, but I haven’t ruled it out completely.
Great job on implementing those new features, thanks so much
Brilliant, thanks Robin
Oh one more Q – does it process them in the order they are uploaded (e.g.: data & time)? Or random? Or alphabetically?
Order uploaded would be nice…
Yep I just hit this problem too with 1 image.
Any word on this Robin? Can we up this threshold?
