Results rules and boosts

Pinning, hiding and redirecting for one search, boosting products across all searches, and hiding out-of-stock products.

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.

All of this lives on the Search screen.

Results rules

A rule applies to one exact search; case and extra spaces are ignored. A rule can:

Redirect the search straight to a page, such as returns to your returns page.
Pin products at fixed positions, from 1 to 250. Up to 20 products per rule.
Hide products from that search. Up to 20 products per rule.

A product cannot be pinned and hidden in the same rule.

Boosts

A boost raises or lowers one product across every search, from −2 to +2. A boost only reorders results that match equally well: it never puts an irrelevant product above a relevant one.

Settings

Hide out-of-stock products from search results.
Stopwords: see Synonyms and stopwords.

When changes apply

Rules and boosts reach the storefront when the index is next rebuilt, and do not apply while your store is on Shopify’s own data. Findora saves them immediately and shows a notice until then.
