Merchant dashboard

See what shoppers search for, and where to look next.

Review store search status, shopper queries, product activity, and focused ways to improve results. What you can report depends on your plan, setup, and the activity your store measures.

A practical search workflow

Start with the store. Follow the query. Review the change.

Begin by checking that search is ready to judge, then follow a shopper signal to the result or product that needs attention.

The merchant answer

The dashboard brings store readiness, search activity, query and product reports, and improvement tools into one place. It helps your team decide what deserves a closer look. It reports observed activity, not guaranteed sales lift, and some measures need complete storefront and checkout signals before they can be used.

The product surfaces

See where this work happens.

Each surface has a distinct job. The details below explain what your shopper or team can do and which setup conditions shape it.

Store readiness

Check that storefront search is ready to review.

The overview brings current search status and catalogue setup into view before you draw conclusions from recent activity.

See when a storefront or catalogue check needs attention.
Open the relevant health or setup area to understand the next step.

Shopper activity

Find the searches and products behind a pattern.

Search reports help you move from a store-wide view to the query, product, filter, or shopper path that needs a closer look.

Choose an available date range and check when the report was last updated.
Separate a shopper’s submitted search from the background activity created while they type.

Focused improvements

Choose a change that matches the problem.

Use query evidence, product data, and storefront health to decide whether to adjust a search control or repair the catalogue first.

Review suggested fixes when the store has enough evidence for them.
Use query tools for a deliberate ranking, synonym, or redirect change.

Outcome context

See what happened after shoppers searched.

Review product opens, direct adds when enabled, and order signals when the store has the required measurement coverage.

Use the same query and date window when reviewing a change.
Attributed order activity can show a recorded touchpoint, not prove that search caused a sale.

The path

Turn a search signal into a decision you can review.

Use the dashboard as a working view for search, not a scoreboard. Check the conditions behind a metric before choosing a change.

Check readiness

Confirm the storefront and catalogue are ready before relying on historical results or comparing activity.

Inspect the search

Open a repeated query or product pattern and review the products shoppers actually saw.

Choose one next step

Make a focused change, then return to the same query and available shopper signals to review what changed.

Decision guide

What should you check before trusting a report?

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

Is the storefront search path ready?

Check the current storefront and catalogue status first. If the dashboard reports an issue, treat recent result data as potentially historical until the published search path is verified.

Does the report have enough complete activity?

Review the date range, data-through date, and measurement coverage. Some comparison, engagement, and order views need more complete shopper activity than a search count alone.

What can an attributed order tell you?

It can show a recorded search touchpoint in an order path. It does not prove the search caused the purchase or quantify incremental revenue.

What is included

The views your team can use to keep search moving

Each view has a clear job: establish readiness, identify a search worth inspecting, or review what happened after a change.

Built around a merchant decision

Store search status

See whether storefront delivery or catalogue setup needs attention before acting on recent search data.

Query and product reports

Move from overall search activity to the wording shoppers used and the products they opened or added.

Filter and shopper-path views

Review how shoppers narrowed results, continued to products, or left the search journey.

Search fixes and controls

Review repeated query patterns, then choose a focused fix or a merchant-controlled rule when the evidence supports it.

Order context when available

Review recorded search touchpoints in order paths when the required storefront and checkout evidence is available.

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.

Analytics describe observed store activity. They do not explain a shopper’s intent on their own.
Available reports, history, and improvement tools depend on the store’s plan and setup.
Engagement and order reporting depend on measurement coverage and available storefront or checkout signals.
An observed search touchpoint is context for a decision, not proof that search caused a sale.
