As soon as a shopper types two letters in your shop's search box, a list opens under it with matching categories, products, brands, pages and blog posts. One click opens the right page, without waiting for a results page.
Where to find it
It works by itself in the search box at the top of every shop page, on computers and on phones. There is nothing to switch on. What it finds comes from your products, categories, brands, pages and blog posts. The Popular searches words for the empty box are set in Admin › Online store › Store design › Search bar.
How it works
The list shows up to:
| Group | How many | What shows |
|---|---|---|
| Categories | 5 | The name and where it sits, for example "Cotton in Women › Three-piece" |
| Products | 6 | Photo, name and price, or Stock out |
| Brands | 3 | The brand name, opening its page |
| Pages | 3 | Your pages, such as About or Size guide |
| Blog | 3 | Published blog posts |
- Every word typed must be in the name. "red three" finds "Red Cotton Three-piece". The typed words are shown in bold.
- Best first. Names that start with the typed text come first. Among products, ones in stock come before stock-out ones, then newer ones.
- Small typos. If nothing matches and the text is longer than three letters, the shop tries the start of the word and says Showing close matches.
- The last line, See all results for "…", opens the full search results page.
- If nothing is found, the list says Nothing found for "…".
Example: A shopper on Rangdhanu Fashion types "lawn". The list shows the category "Lawn" under "Women › Three-piece", then six lawn products with their photos and prices.
Good to know
- Empty box. Before typing (and with fewer than two letters), the box still shows your Popular searches list. When suggestions open, that list hides.
- Keyboard. Shoppers can move with the up and down arrows, press Enter to open the marked line, and Esc to close.
- Bangla. Categories are found by their English name or their Name in Bangla. Products are found by their product name only.
- Never shown: hidden products, sample products and blog posts that are not published.
- Each store's suggestions come only from its own shop.
