# Search products by Metafield
✨If you store custom information in metafields (e.g. material, brand, features), you can allow your customers to search for products based on those values using **Smart Product Filter & Search**.
To make this work, follow the two steps below.
***
### ⚡️ Step 1: Enable searching product data by Metafield
1. Go to your Shopify Admin → **Apps** → **Smart Product Filter & Search**.
2. From the left sidebar, click **Search** option**.**
3. Select Metafields Search Fields
* Scroll to the **Search Fields** section.
* Tick the **Metafield** checkbox.
4. Click **Save** to update your search configuration.
***
### ⚡️ Step 2: Enable Metafield in the App Settings
1. Open the **Smart Product Filter & Search** app in your Shopify Admin.
2. From the left menu, click **Settings** → go to the **Metafields** tab.
3. Click **Add Field** → Choose **Metafield**.
4. Enter your **metafield namespace** and **key** (e.g., `custom.material`).
5. Under **Applies to**:
* Make sure to enable the **Search** option so that customer can search for this metafield data.
6. Click **Add**, then **Save** your changes.
***
### 🔎 That’s it!
Your customers can now search for products using the values stored in your metafield.
***
### 💡 Example
Let’s say you use a metafield like `custom.material` with values like *Cotton*, *Linen*, or *Wool*. After setup, when someone searches "cotton", matching products will appear in search results.
