For shoppers and the people who run the store

Help shoppers find the right product. Give your team a way to improve search.

See what shoppers can do on your storefront, how your team can investigate search, and which tools help you make and review a focused change.

For shoppers

Find by product details, narrow the choices, compare options, and continue to the product or cart.

For your team

See where search needs attention, choose a focused change, and check the live result.

Explore by task

What are you trying to improve?

Start with a shopper need or a team task. Each link opens a page with more detail about the workflow and its limits.

FIND AND CHOOSE

Help shoppers find the right product.

Support a quick product lookup, a closer comparison, and the details that distinguish one option from another.

BROWSE AND REFINE

Keep broader searches useful.

Help shoppers explore when they know what they need, but not the exact product name.

SEE AND IMPROVE

Find out where search needs attention.

Connect shopper activity to product and storefront evidence, then decide what deserves a closer look.

CHANGE WITH CONTROL

Make a focused change and check it.

Choose an intervention that matches the issue, preview it, and verify what shoppers see after publishing.

SUPPORT DISCOVERY

Give shoppers a useful next option.

Use a related product, complementary item, or campaign when it fits what the shopper is doing.

FOR GROWING TEAMS

Support more stores and bigger catalogues.

Talk through search capacity, multiple stores, integrations, rollout, and support for your team.

Plan availability

Choose by the work you need to do.

Public plans build on one another. Features can depend on your approved plan and store setup; Shopify confirms the final plan terms before approval.

Capabilities

Help shoppers search beyond titles. Give your team more control over what happens next.

See what shoppers can do, what your team can review, and how search stays connected to your catalogue. Some controls and placements depend on your plan, permissions, catalogue, and theme setup. See the full library for details.

Search engine

Core search paths use your catalogue first.

Search, retrieval, and eligibility features support the first storefront experience without asking your team to configure every control.

Typo Tolerance

Recover from common spelling mistakes while keeping the result tied to shopper intent.

Tunable Ranking

Adjust eligible result order with query-level ranking controls.

Popularity Ranking

Boost top-selling and top-converting products in search results. Ranking adapts to real shopper behaviour, not just text matching.

Filtering & Faceting

Narrow results with attribute-based filters and facets.

Grouping & Distinct

Group similar variants. Keep results neat and tidy.

Dynamic Sorting

Reorder results on the fly, without duplicating data.

Variant & SKU Search

Search by size, colour, SKU, or part number, not just title.

Identifier Search

Prioritise exact SKU, barcode, and model-number evidence while keeping variant identity visible through the result handoff.

Catalogue Freshness

Product and stock changes have a clear path into search so the result set stays close to the store.

Storefront-Aware Visibility

Exclude ineligible draft or hidden products and apply the merchant's configured policy to sold-out products.

Out-of-Stock Policies

Three store-wide modes for out-of-stock products: show normally, push to bottom, or hide entirely.

Corrected Queries

Show “Did you mean” when queries miss the mark.

Zero-Result Recovery

When strict matching returns nothing, offer a bounded recovery path that keeps the shopper oriented.

Semantic Search

When enabled, connect related product language while keeping exact identifiers and source-backed constraints protected.

Profile-Bounded Semantic Quality

Each search profile coordinates how meaning-led candidates influence results and how close they must remain before they are eligible.

Adaptive Search Journeys

Keep exact lookup focused, place enabled content earlier for explicit learning intent, and retain related paths when discovery needs them.

Dynamic Filter Inference

When the catalogue supports it, turn useful language in a query into relevant filter context.

Search Rules

Boost, pin, or hide specific products per query. Merchant-defined result overrides.

Diversity Curation

When enabled, limit repetition from one brand or category without overriding exact identifiers or hard constraints.

Search Redirects

When enabled, session-aware signals can make discovery more relevant to a shopper's current path.
