Relevanssi can index product and product variation SKUs for WooCommerce products: just add _sku to list of custom fields to index. However, if you want to find the main product when searching for the product variation SKU, you need some extra code using the relevanssi_content_to_index filter hook.

It is quite easy to make Relevanssi not display hidden products in the results. The…
Sometimes multisite searches cause problems in navigation menus.
