How does the module detect a no-result search?

It hooks into PrestaShop's actionSearch hook and spots searches whose result total is zero. On the front end, a script detects the empty results grid and loads the rescue page via AJAX, without slowing down searches that succeed.

Does the spelling correction invent words?

No. The correction rewrites each word only against your store's native search index (ps_search_word), using a Levenshtein distance scaled to word length. It therefore only suggests terms that actually exist in your catalogue, then re-runs the real PrestaShop search with the corrected query.

How does the "notify me" form work?

On the rescue page, an opt-in form unchecked by default lets the visitor drop their email for the current query. It is protected by an anti-bot honeypot. From the back office, when you map a product, a category or a URL to that query, the "Notify" action emails every waiting subscriber, each in their own language, and marks them as notified.

What is the lost-queries dashboard for?

It aggregates every zero-result search, counts them and ranks them by volume. It is both an analysis tool (which products or synonyms your catalogue is missing) and an action tool: in one click, you map a query to a product, a category or a URL, as a suggestion or an automatic redirect.

Does the module need an external service?

No. The spelling correction, the category guessing and the alert email sending are entirely self-hosted. No data leaves your store and no external API key is required.

Is it compatible with PrestaShop 9 and multistore?

Yes. The module is designed and tested from PrestaShop 8.0 to 9.x, single store or multistore, across the catalogue's five languages (FR, EN, ES, DE, IT), with no Composer and no framework.

A detailed look at how No Search Results Page PrestaShop 8/9 — Rescue Page & Product Alerts works, why we built it the way we did, and the thinking behind the features above.

§ 01

A no-result search is a sale slipping away

When a visitor types a query, they express a very precise buying intent. Answering "no results" means closing the door at the exact moment they were ready to buy. The module intercepts these empty searches and replaces them with a rescue page that keeps the visitor on your store and puts them back on the track of a product.

§ 02

Three rescue leads, in the right order

The module first tries a "did you mean…" spelling correction: it rewrites each word against PrestaShop's native search index and re-runs the real search with the corrected query. It then guesses the target category from the query words and shows its best sellers. Finally, only if nothing else worked, it offers your best sellers. Each block can be turned on or off independently.

§ 03

Capture the demand you don't cover yet

A visitor may search for a product you don't carry yet. Rather than losing them, a GDPR opt-in "notify me" form, unchecked by default and protected by a honeypot, captures their email for that precise query. The day you map a product to that query from the back office, a single click notifies every waiting subscriber, each in their own language.

§ 04

A dashboard that steers your catalogue

Every zero-result search is aggregated, counted and ranked by volume in a dedicated dashboard. You see at a glance what your visitors search for without finding it: product ideas to reference, synonyms to correct, redirects to create. In one click, you map a query to a product, a category or a URL, as a suggestion shown on the page or an automatic redirect.

§ 05

Lightweight, self-hosted and PrestaShop 8 & 9 compatible

Architecture with no Composer and no framework, manual PSR-4 autoloader, classic admin controller and vanilla JS without jQuery for smooth PS8/PS9 compatibility, single store or multistore and across the catalogue's five languages. No data leaves your store: correction, category guessing and alert sending are entirely self-hosted.
