2. If eligible, you will be able to select Semantic Search from the left sidebar.
3. Wait for a few minutes for our search engine to finish gathering your product data.
⚠️ Estimated time may vary depending on your store's data; large inventory may require 15 minutes max for our search engine to learn and sync your product data.
Once it's done, you're all set!
How to use Semantic Search
1. In Semantic Search settings, adjust the slider cursor to apply the impact weight of Semantic Search to your store's search results
⚠️ The default setting for this function is 50% impact weight.
💡 100% means Semantic Search will fully take over your store's search engine. The higher the level of impact, the wider the range of results you may get from your search query.
2. The simulator will help visualize how your Semantic search settings impact your search results on the live page—type in the search query you'd like to try on the search bar.
With Semantic search: This column displays the results with Semantic search enabled.
Without Semantic search: This column displays the results with Semantic search disabled.
💡
The number of results that can be displayed initially is 20, to see more, scroll down and click Load more.
You can preview the product details by hovering over the targeted product and then clicking the 👁 button.
3. Click Save settings to save your changes or Discard to reset them.
