International search

Make the storefront fit the shopper’s context.

Locale-aware copy, currency formatting, market context, right-to-left presentation, and local recovery states help the same search experience feel correct in each supported storefront context.

The context contract

Language can change without losing identity.

The storefront adapts its words and formatting while product identity, eligibility, and buyer constraints stay explicit.

The merchant answer

International search is more than translating product names. ParticleSearch carries the storefront locale and market context through search copy, filters, content, product presentation, currency, and recovery so a shopper can understand what they can actually buy.

Guides and field notes

Go deeper when the decision needs detail.

Use these practical guides for the context, merchant decisions, and acceptance tests behind the capability you are evaluating.

International search guide

Separate market, language, price, stock, and customer context.

Market context guide

Trace eligibility, price, stock, and handoff from record to cart.

Multilingual search guide

Keep canonical values, local labels, aliases, and content paths distinct.

The path

Carry context through the whole search journey.

A localised search surface should help a shopper recognise the right words, products, prices, and next action without silently changing the commercial promise.

01

Read the storefront context

Use the storefront language and market context as inputs to copy, labels, currency formatting, direction, and the result experience.

02

Preserve the hard facts

Keep identifiers, variants, compatibility, eligibility, availability, and price basis distinct from the language used to express them.

03

Verify the local handoff

Check filters, product cards, content results, product-page options, cart feedback, and recovery states in each important locale and market.

Decision guide

Questions this capability should answer

Use these questions to decide whether this capability is the right next move for your store.

1

What should change with locale?

Words, labels, direction, content, formatting, and recovery can change. Product identity and buying constraints still need to remain trustworthy.

2

What should change with market?

Eligibility, availability, price, currency, destination, and fulfilment context may change. Language alone is not a market rule.

3

What should be tested before launch?

Run exact identifiers, local category terms, filters, prices, content searches, and product handoff checks in the locales and markets that matter.

What is included

Local presentation with a clear boundary

ParticleSearch adapts the merchant-facing storefront experience. It does not invent translations, market eligibility, or product data that the store has not supplied.

Built around a merchant decision
01

Locale-aware interface copy

Search inputs, filters, result summaries, recovery states, content results, recommendation surfaces, and cart feedback can follow the storefront locale.

02

Currency and price formatting

Present prices and ranges in the current currency format while keeping the underlying product and variant identity visible.

03

Right-to-left direction

Support right-to-left layout direction where the storefront context calls for it, including controls and result movement.

04

Local query recovery

Keep locale-specific wording, spelling, and content paths separate from exact identifiers and hard constraints.

05

Context-aware review

Give the team a reason to test the same query across locale, market, price, and availability contexts rather than trusting one global screenshot.

06

Evidence before broad rules

Treat a translated label or regional term as evidence to review, not automatic permission to create a broad synonym.

A useful boundary

Good product decisions include what the feature cannot solve.

ParticleSearch gives your team more evidence and control. It does not remove the need for accurate product data, a clear merchandising goal, or a review of the result on your own store.

  • Locale-aware presentation does not translate missing product fields or decide whether a product is eligible in a market.
  • Currency formatting is presentation context. It does not replace the store’s price, tax, market, or customer-specific pricing authority.
  • Local aliases and synonyms still need merchant review. A dictionary-equivalent word can represent a different product or attribute in a particular catalogue.
