I want to add a custom search form incl. an option to choose certain product attributes. The goal is that users can input a text and choose a product attribute value and results are only shown from a certain product category.

I know that I can utilize the type parameter of input to build a custom URL. How can I include the terms of a attributes as well?

By using this answer (https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/184166/create-product-category-and-keyword-search-form-in-woocommerce) my code looks like this so far:

function custom_search( $form ) {



$terms = get_terms('pa_attributes');



$form = '<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="' . esc_url( home_url( '/'  ) ) . '">

    <div>

        <label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">' . __( 'Search for:', 'woocommerce' ) . '</label>

        <input type="text" value="' . get_search_query() . '" name="s" id="s" placeholder="' . __( 'Search within a category', 'woocommerce' ) . '" />

        <input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="product">

        <input type="hidden" name="taxonomy" value="product_cat">



        <!-- here: my_product_category is chosen -->

        <input type="hidden" name="term" value="my_product_category">



 <!-- HOW TO INCLUDE $terms ? -->





        <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="'. esc_attr__( 'Search', 'woocommerce' ) .'" />

        <input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="product" />

    </div>

</form>';



return $form;

}

My Answer:
To include the terms of product attributes in your custom search form, you can create a select dropdown input field for each attribute and populate it with the terms of that attribute. Here's how you can modify your code to include the terms of product attributes:

php
function custom_search( $form ) {
$terms = get_terms('pa_attributes');

$form = '

' . __( 'Search for:', 'woocommerce' ) . '









Select Attribute 1

name; ?>




Select Attribute 2

name; ?>

';

return $form;
}


In this code snippet, I added two select dropdown input fields for product attributes. You can add more select dropdowns as needed for additional attributes. Make sure to replace `attribute1` and `attribute2` with the actual attribute names. Also, adjust the loop to fetch the terms of each attribute if needed.

This way, users can select a product attribute value along with their search query, and the form will submit the selected attribute values along with the search query to filter the search results accordingly.
