What is the difference between the standard version and the PRO version of Advanced Search ?
IN ADDITION to all the features of the standard version, the PRO version of the Advanced Search 5 module offers you the following features:
1) Automatic SEO page generation tool (facets)
- Two possibilities: creation of result pages one by one or in a bulk action
- Manual selection of the pages on which to make cross-links or activation of the automatic creation of links between the generated pages (bulk action)

- Possibility to create, for each language of the store, a SEO content that will be visible at the top of the page, and another that will be visible at the bottom of the page

2) Setting up a step-by-step search
This Pro version offers you the possibility to set up a new type of search, the step-by-step search. The user selects his criteria in a precise order, while having the possibility to skip a group of criteria if he wants. The groups of criteria are displayed and adapted dynamically as they are displayed. The search is launched automatically when the criteria are selected in the last step. Customers can then restart the search at the stage of their choice.
3) Customization of criteria groups using images
- Possibility to display the criteria of your filters as images (multilingual configuration)
- Possibility to customize the display of your filter types by associating an image (multilingual configuration)
4) Support for PrestaShop 9.2's Extra Properties
From version 5.4.0, Advanced Search PRO supports PrestaShop 9.2's Extra Properties. You can create criteria groups based on additional properties assigned to products, combinations, categories, brands and suppliers.
This feature requires PrestaShop 9.2 or later and is available in the PRO version only. Supported property types are integers, decimal numbers, booleans (Yes/No), text, dates and choice lists. Properties of type JSON or HTML are not supported. Text properties with a configured maximum length greater than 255 characters are also excluded.
