# Manage search fields

✨By default, the **Smart Product Filter & Search** app searches by product title, description, vendor, and more. But you can fully control which fields the app will look at when a customer types into the search bar.

***

### 🔹 What Are Search Fields?

Search fields define which product data the app should check during a search. You can choose from:

* **Title**
* **Vendor**
* **Product type**
* **SKU**
* **Product Tag**
* **Product Options**
* **Descrtiption**
* **Collection Titles**
* **Metafields**

***

### 🔹 How to Customize Search Fields

1. **Open the App**\
   Go to your Shopify Admin → **Apps** → **Smart Product Filter & Search**.
2. **Navigate to Search Settings**\
   From the left sidebar, click **Search** optio&#x6E;**.**
3. **Select Your Search Fields**

   * Scroll to the **Search Fields** section.
   * Tick the checkboxes for the fields you want the app to search in.

4. **Save Changes**\
   Click **Save** to update your search configuration.

***

### 🔹Example Use Cases

* Want to let customers search by **brand**? Enable the **Vendor** field.
* Selling clothing with custom attributes like **fabric** stored in metafields? Just add the relevant metafield, and enable the **Metafield** field.

***

### ❗️Note

* Only the selected fields will be used in search. Unselected fields will be ignored.
* Define the search’s priority level of each product field by sorting their positions here:
