Back Office AJAX Product Filter for PrestaShop.
Tired of full-page reloads every time you search for a product in the catalog? This free PrestaShop module turns the product list search into a real-time autocomplete with thumbnails and instant redirect to the product edit page. No configuration, no extra steps—install it and start typing. Your back office just got a serious speed boost.
Why is searching for products in the back office so slow?
In a large catalog, finding one specific product usually means typing in the search box, waiting for the whole page to reload, then scrolling through results—or repeating the process with a different keyword. Every search is a full round-trip: form submit, server response, full HTML refresh. It works, but it eats time when you manage dozens or hundreds of products daily.
What you really want is the same experience you get on modern e‑commerce front offices: type a few characters, see matching products appear as you type, and jump straight to the one you need. No reloads, no extra clicks.
Back Office AJAX Product Filter does exactly that. It adds a real-time autocomplete to the product search field on the Catalog > Products page. Results are fetched in the background via AJAX, so the page never reloads. Each suggestion shows the product thumbnail and name (plus reference when available). Click a suggestion and you are taken directly to that product’s edit screen. Install the module and the search box is upgraded automatically—no configuration required.
What you get with this module:
-
AJAX search:
Queries run in the background. No full-page reloads—results update as you type. -
Visual suggestions:
Each result shows a product thumbnail and name (and reference when set) so you pick the right item at a glance. -
One click to edit:
Selecting a suggestion redirects you straight to the product’s edit page—no extra navigation.
Features in detail
Background AJAX search
Search requests are sent asynchronously without reloading the page. You get near-instant results as you type, with minimal delay and no flicker—ideal for fast product lookup in large catalogs.
Smart autocomplete
Suggestions appear after a minimum number of characters (configurable in the script). Matching is based on product name and reference, so you can find items by either—no need to type the full name.
Direct jump to product edit
Choosing a product from the dropdown immediately redirects you to its edit page in the back office. No intermediate list view, no extra clicks—one selection and you are editing.
Product thumbnails in results
Each suggestion displays the product’s cover image (small_default size) next to the name. Visual confirmation makes it easier to distinguish similar names and avoid opening the wrong product.
Zero configuration
The module does not require a configuration page. After installation, the autocomplete is automatically attached to the product search field on the product list (Catalog > Products). Plug and play.
Seamless PrestaShop integration
The module hooks into the back office (actionAdminControllerSetMedia, displayBackOfficeHeader) and injects its script and styles only where needed. It works alongside your existing PrestaShop version and other modules without overriding core files.
No setup required
The module configuration screen is informational only: it explains that no settings are needed and that the search is active as soon as the module is installed. The autocomplete is automatically applied to the product name filter on the product list page (Catalog > Products).

Technical specification & compatibility
