Enable filter on search result page
By default, Smart Product Filter & Search displays the filter sidebar on collection pages. If you want to help customers filter their search results with our app's filter sidebar, follow the two simple steps below.
🧩 Step 1: Create a filter sidebar for the Search Result page
Open the Smart Product Filter & Search app from your Shopify admin.
Go to Filter > Manage Filters.
Click the Add Filter button (or edit an existing one if you prefer).
In the Apply to section:
Enable the Search Page option.
Customize the filter options as you wish (e.g. Price, Color, Size, etc.).
Click Save.
✅ This creates a dedicated filter sidebar specifically for your search results page.
⚙️ Step 2: Enable the Filter Sidebar for Search Page in App Settings
From the app's left navigation, go to Settings > General.
Tick on the Enable Filter on Search Page option.
Click Save to apply changes.
🎉 Your search results page will now display product filters based on the sidebar you selected!
🛠 Troubleshooting Tips
