Search & Discovery
Shoppers find the thing they came for.
Your own search, filters and product recommendations: part numbers findable, synonyms understood, the products you want promoted pinned, and a report of what shoppers asked for and did not get.
Switching it on
- Switch the module on with the toggle at the top of this page.
- Turn the AlliDesk app embed on in your theme.
- Open Search and let your catalogue index, then try a search on your own storefront.
- Open Filters and Recommendations to choose what shoppers can narrow by and what is suggested.
It is live when: The module is on and the app embed is running, so search and recommendations work on your storefront.
What your customer sees
Nothing of ours with our name on it: this module works behind your storefront and your own emails.
Everything on the storefront is a theme block or the app embed, so there is no theme code to edit and nothing to undo if you switch the module off.
Questions merchants ask
What does Search & Discovery replace?
Your theme's search box, collection filters and the 'you may also like' rows: results that tolerate typos and part numbers, filters built from your own options and tags, and recommendations you can override.
Why are my results thin at first?
The catalogue has to index once after you switch it on. Give it a few minutes, then search your own storefront.
Can I push certain products up?
Yes, with boosts, and synonyms catch the words your shoppers use for them. The searches that return nothing are listed for you — that list is worth reading.
Works with
Every module shares the same customer, so these need no setting up twice.
