Instant search

The search overlay, what it searches, how it handles typos and languages, and its fallback.

Findora is in development. These docs describe the app as it is being built; details can change before it is listed on the Shopify App Store.

Turn on the Findora search app embed (how) and your theme’s search opens Findora’s overlay.

What it searches

  • Products, matched on the title first, then on the rest of the product text and the metafield values you filter on. SKUs match exactly.
  • Collections and pages, when included in the embed settings.

Matching

  • Typo tolerance: small spelling mistakes still find the product. SKUs are the exception: AB-1234 never finds AB-1235.
  • Stemming and per-language handling: plural and singular forms match.
  • Suggestions and recent searches while the shopper types.
  • Variant-level matching: results respect the filters a shopper applied.

Languages and currencies

With Shopify Markets, shoppers on a translated storefront search in that language (this needs the Read translations permission; see Install Findora). When a shopper browses in a different currency from your store’s, the overlay hides prices rather than show the wrong amount.

Fallback

If Findora’s index is unavailable, the overlay uses Shopify’s own search suggestions instead. Search keeps working; it is simply less tolerant of typos.
