Appearance
Search results
The storefront has two search surfaces: the live suggestions that drop down as a buyer types, and the full results page they land on after submitting. Both match on product title, type, vendor, and variant SKU.
Predictive suggestions
As a buyer types in the header search, a panel shows matching search terms, products, collections, and pages. Product rows carry a thumbnail, and — depending on your settings — the vendor and price.
Control the panel under Theme settings → Search:
- Enable predictive search — when off, the search bar submits straight to the results page with no dropdown.
- Show vendor in suggestions
- Show price in suggestions
Header search suggestions, controlled under Theme settings → Search.
SKU matching
Suggestions match a variant SKU, not only the product name. A buyer who pastes a SKU sees the product that carries it. This is the field set the theme queries; it also drives SKU lookups on the quick order page.
Note: With login-gated pricing on, suggestion prices are hidden for signed-out visitors even when Show price in suggestions is on.
The full results page
Submitting the search opens the results page. Products render as the same product cards used on collections, grouped above matching articles and pages. A View all link at the bottom of the suggestions panel goes to the same page.
The results page carries the same filter panel and sort menu as a collection, drawn from Search & Discovery. Turn them on under the Search results section with Enable filtering and Enable sorting. See Filtering and sorting.
