📖 Site search matches customer keywords to your product catalog. With Boost AI Search & Discovery, your store uses an advanced relevance algorithm that delivers smarter, more accurate results—well beyond a basic search bar.
How our site search features work
Boost matches your customers’ queries to your store data and ranks results by relevance.
Searchable content
Products: title, product type, vendor, tags, options, SKU, barcode, and description (off by default).
Typo tolerance applies to: title, product type, vendor.
Collections, articles, and pages: title only by default. Indexing full content requires additional setup.
Variant images & color
⚠️ Variant image selection recognizes only common color terms (e.g., black, blue, red, white, gray). If you use a custom color name (e.g., “neon”), search results still show the product, but the first product image (from Shopify) is used instead of a color‑matched variant.
Search intelligence
Synonyms and a Suggestion Dictionary refine and normalize queries to improve relevance.
Customize search fields
Tune speed and relevance by choosing which fields to search—and in what order.
Enable/disable fields you don’t want the engine to scan.
Reorder fields to set priority; higher‑priority fields influence ranking first.
Optionally enable the product description field if it’s important to your shoppers.
To customize your searchable attributes
From the app’s admin, go to Search > Engine control > Relevance settings.
Go to the Relevance settings tab.
Toggle ON/OFF the searchable attributes and adjust their priority level individually.
Click Save settings.
