Shape the storefront around your catalogue.
Choose a search posture, configure filters and product cards, preview the live experience, and publish settings with a recoverable history.
The configuration path
Start with a posture. Refine what shoppers actually see.
Settings are easier to own when the merchant can see the storefront, not just a form full of isolated switches.

The merchant answer
Every catalog has a different balance between exact lookup, discovery, variants, technical detail, and content. Storefront controls give merchants a coherent starting point and a safe way to tune the experience around that reality.
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.
Search profiles guide
Choose a starting strategy from real catalog risks.
Search filters guide
Design facets, values, and collection refinement around the buying job.
Filter groups guide
Use global defaults, collection profiles, and merchant overrides.
Shopify search settings guide
Review search behaviour settings with the surrounding Shopify experience in mind.
The path
Make the storefront fit the way the catalog is bought.
A variant-rich technical catalog should not start with the same search posture as a discovery-led fashion catalog. Configure the experience as a connected system, then verify it on real queries.
Choose a starting strategy
Use one of six profiles for balanced commerce, precision, discovery, variant-rich retail, technical specifications, or content-rich products.
Tune the visible experience
Review filter labels, value groups, collection overrides, product-card evidence, layout, suggestions, content, recommendations, and buying actions.
Preview and publish deliberately
Use real catalog products in modal and full-page previews, compare the draft with live behaviour, publish, and keep version history available for recovery.
Decision guide
Questions this capability should answer
Use these questions to decide whether this capability is the right next move for your store.
Which profile fits this catalog?
Choose based on the dominant buyer job: exact lookup, broad discovery, variants, technical facts, or content-led research.
Which filters deserve space?
Start with catalog-informed fields and observed shopper use, then keep labels, values, order, and collection context understandable.
How do we know the setting is safe?
Preview the real storefront, compare live and draft behaviour, publish through the verified workflow, and keep the previous version recoverable.
What is included
One workspace for the settings shoppers actually feel
Give merchants control over the storefront without asking them to understand every search-engine parameter underneath it.
Six search profiles
Start with a coordinated relevance, typo, identifier, recovery, semantic, availability, diversity, and newness posture for the catalog.
Global and collection filters
Control field visibility, labels, order, presentation, value groups, search within long lists, and collection-specific overrides.
Product-card decisions
Choose whether shoppers see vendor, sale state, descriptions, ratings when enabled, swatches, variant cues, and quick-add actions in each surface.
Modal and full-page layout
Preview responsive density, width, columns, filter position, suggestions, collection browsing, and product-card presentation before saving.
Real storefront preview
Inspect the result with real catalog data in desktop, tablet, and mobile frames instead of relying on an abstract settings form.
Version history and restore
Review what changed, when it changed, and restore a prior settings version when the current experience is not the right one.
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.
- Controls expose the experience supported by eligible catalog data. They cannot create a missing product attribute or correct a wrong source value.
- Changing layout or visibility should be tested on the published theme, especially on mobile and collection pages where the surrounding theme still matters.
- Profiles are starting strategies, not permanent replacements for query evidence and merchant judgement.
