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
Go to your Shopify Admin → Apps → Smart Product Filter & Search.
From the left sidebar, click Search option.
Select Metafields Search Fields
Scroll to the Search Fields section.
Tick the Metafield checkbox.
Click Save to update your search configuration.
⚡️ Step 2: Enable Metafield in the App Settings
Open the Smart Product Filter & Search app in your Shopify Admin.
From the left menu, click Settings → go to the Metafields tab.
Click Add Field → Choose Metafield.
Enter your metafield namespace and key (e.g.,
custom.material).Under Applies to:
Make sure to enable the Search option so that customer can search for this metafield data.
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.
