During search

What this does

During search is the instant widget itself — the panel that updates on every keystroke as a shopper types, before they press Enter. It can show more than just matching products: recent searches, search suggestions, brands, categories, collections, pages, and blog posts can all appear alongside product results, each as its own section.

Steps

1. In the app, go to Search > During search.
2. Turn on whichever sections you want to show, and set how many items each one displays. Drag rows under What appears, in order to change the order they appear in — a section is hidden automatically when it has no matches for the current query:
   • Recent searches — the shopper’s own past searches (per-device).
   • Search suggestions — matching search terms/queries.
   • Brands — matching vendors from your catalog.
   • Categories — matching store categories.
   • Collections — matching collections.
   • Products — matching products. Always on — this is the one section you can’t turn off.
   • Pages — matching store pages. Turn this on if you want a search like “return policy” to surface a page titled “Return Policy” — see Search for blog posts and pages.
   • Blog posts — matching blog articles.
3. Use the top-right switch to turn During search on or off entirely.
