How to search for products by custom taxonomy?

The following example is taken from our mockup store, The Bookstore Online. book_author is a custom taxonomy.

Step 1 – Register your custom taxonomy in FiboSearch

add_filter( 'dgwt/wcas/indexer/taxonomies', function ( $taxonomies ) {
	$taxonomies[] = 'book_author';

	return $taxonomies;
} );

Step 2 – Turn on “Search in authors” in the FiboSearch settings

Go to WooCommerce -> FiboSearch -> Search config (tab). A new checkbox called “Search in authors” should appear under the section “Products search scope”. Check it and save the settings.

Step 3 – Rebuild the search index

After saving the settings, the search index should start rebuilding automatically.

Go to WooCommerce → FiboSearch → Indexer (tab) and rebuild the search index. Wait for this process to finish.

Step 4 – Let’s see if it works

Check if you can search products by terms from the custom taxonomy.
