How to search Products by variation SKUs?
Indexing variation SKUs to the parent product
For this to work, make sure you have configured and using the index table engine - as well as the search in SKUs search is enabled.
By default, when the _sku field is selected, the plugin will index the product SKUs as well as the variation SKUs - but all separately. To associate the variation SKUs with the parent product as well, use the code below.
After adding the custom code, make sure to re-create the search index.

add_filter( 'asp_post_custom_field_before_tokenize', 'asp_tokenize_sku_variation', 10, 3 );
function asp_tokenize_sku_variation($values, $post, $field) {
if ( $post->post_type == 'product' && $field == '_sku' ) {
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'product_variation',
'post_status' => array( 'private', 'publish' ),
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'fields' => 'ids',
'post_parent' => $post->ID // get parent post-ID
);
$variations = get_posts( $args );
$skus = array();
foreach ( $variations as $variation ) {
$sku = get_post_meta($variation, '_sku', true);
if ( !empty($sku) ) {
$skus[] = $sku;
}
}
if ( count($skus) > 0 ) {
$values = array_merge($values, $skus);
}
}
return $values;
}
