Great plugin! But how can I show the results as shown at the product category? You know, with clickable images and displaying the price...
That would be super cool!! Thanks man!

Hi Remi! It would be super cool and useful if it would be possible to use your snippet as kamarena wrote... What do you think about?

Hi Remi, is it possible to use your plugin like a widget?
