Search bar

Header

The Search bar displays in the header and lets visitors search your collections, products, and pages.

You can enable product type filters, change the product results style, and promote your collections with suggested links that appear beneath the search field.

If the Search bar is disabled in your Theme settings, clicking the search icon will redirect to the search page.

Shopify | You can customize search results with Shopify's Search & Discovery app. Create custom filters, select result types, and add "synonym groups" to show relevant results. See Shopify's App guide ↗ to learn more.
