    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to change the default search form to search in products ?
    So taht the search results is shown as products instead of plain text?
    Something in functions.php perhaps?? I’ve read a lot – but it looks like it’s theme dependent – and I’m not confident to try to change the code.

    If you can code on your own then you can achieve it via the child theme.

    Thanks.

    Hi Nitu,
    Thanks for your answer.
    As I wrote I cannot code it myself. I’ve found solutions for other themes – but not for Flash. I always use Flash for my clients. I LOVE Flash – but it’s a big minus, that the search function doesn’t work for products. Can you point me in the right direction? I mean more like a code snippet, than the placement of it. Would really appreciate that! 🙂

    Never mind – I found a snippet. Works like a charm!
    Perhaps it can help others.

    Goes in functions.php

    add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpse223576_search_woocommerce_only' );

function wpse223576_search_woocommerce_only( $query ) {
  if( ! is_admin() && is_search() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
    $query->set( 'post_type', 'product' );
  }
}
