When a search needs work

Make search improvements with a clear reason.

When shoppers struggle to find a product, start with the query and the products they see. ParticleSearch gives merchants a place to review search activity and decide what to improve.

Explore merchant tools
1

Find searches that need attention.

Review searches with no results, products found, and shopper actions to see where customers may be getting stuck.

2

Check the product details behind a result.

A missing SKU, option, or product detail may need an update in Shopify before you change how search handles the query.

3

Choose a focused improvement.

For a repeatable search issue, review options such as a synonym, redirect, result order, or merchandising rule.

What to look for

Look for the details that matter to your shoppers.

As you explore, notice what shoppers can find and whether the product details they need are easy to see.

  • Does a product name find the right item?
  • Can shoppers search by SKU or part number?
  • Do colour and size options make sense?
  • Can shoppers narrow a long result list?
  • Are price and availability easy to check?
  • Does the result lead to a useful next step?
