Quick search

The Quick search drawer auto-completes when customers type in the search bar to show immediate results for products, collections, articles, and pages on your store.

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

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

You can customize search results with Shopify's Search & Discovery app. Create custom filters, select result types, and add "synonym groups" for relevant results. Learn more in Shopify's App guide ↗.
