What Smart Search can do
Six features that turn the search bar into a sales channel.
Results appear as you type, with images, prices, and the Add to Cart button.
Even if you type "lpatop" instead of "laptop", you'll still find what you're looking for.

Product names, SKUs, brands, categories, and attributes.
Delivers results in fractions of a second on 300,000+ products, including Multi-Vendor.
Query analytics reveal what customers are looking for and which searches return nothing.
Don't just take our word for it—try it yourself.
Open the demo store, type a query with a typo or in the wrong keyboard layout, and see the results for yourself.

FAQ
Standard search looks for exact word matches. Smart Search, powered by Elasticsearch, shows suggestions as you type, corrects typos and keyboard layout mistakes, understands word forms, stays fast on large catalogs, and provides query analytics.
Yes — the solution was built for high-traffic marketplaces and fully supports Multi-Vendor.
No. With the cloud plan, the index and all processing run on our infrastructure. Your store sends a query and receives ready results, so search load never hits your hosting, even during peak sales. When installed on your own server, search runs on a separate Elasticsearch instance — we’ll help you choose the right configuration for your catalog size.
Nothing needs to be installed — we’ll connect search to your store and handle the infrastructure for you.
You’ll need a server with a search engine — we’ll help with installation and setup.
Search won’t stop working. When your catalog approaches the limit, we’ll give you advance notice and suggest moving to the next plan. The upgrade happens without any reconfiguration or downtime.
