Disable woocommerce product search plugin's autocomplete [closed]

You can do this by adding this bit of jQuery code, for example at your footer.php, right before the </body> tag closure:

<script>
    $('input.field').attr('autocomplete', 'off');
</script>

Or the same thing but with pure JavaScript:

<script>
var x = document.querySelectorAll("input.search-field");
for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
    x[i].autocomplete="off"
}
</script>

This will add autocomplete="off" for all the search-boxes with the class .search-field on your document, which I think all of them have. Here’s an example.

You could implement it directly where the search-box is situated (header.php), but you would need to recreate the search-box, because it’s implemented dynamically like this – <?php get_search_form(); ?> inside the file header.php. So you would need to replace that code, with something like this:

<form role="search" method="get" class="search-form" action="http://detergentingredients.com/">
    <label>
        <span class="screen-reader-text">Search for:</span>
        <input type="search" class="search-field" placeholder="Search …" value="" name="s" title="Search for:" autocomplete="off"/>
    </label>
    <input type="submit" class="search-submit" value="Search"/>
</form>
