Fast, precise ecommerce search tailored to every shopper
Built specifically for ecommerce, Personalized Search shows each shopper the relevant products they're most likely to want first, in line with your business priorities.
Strong relevance out of the box, tuned by your team
Personalized Search matches every query to your product data and reflects catalog changes within minutes. Your team fine-tunes relevance without code or engineering help.
Language processing
Stemming, compound words,
and singular and plural forms,
so “knife” also finds “knives”.
Error tolerance
Common typos, such as two swapped letters, still lead shoppers to the right products.
27 languages
Supported out of the box, for stores that sell in several languages.
Searchable fields
Choose which product data search uses and set the priority for each field.
AI synonyms
AI suggests synonyms from what shoppers search for, then buy. Your team approves, edits, or adds its own.
Redirects
Send specific queries straight to a page, such as a size guide.
For descriptive and natural-language queries, such as “warm layers for a winter hike”, add AI Search.
One search. A different top row for every shopper.
Two shoppers can type the same words and want different products. Personalized Search puts the products most likely to suit each shopper first to help turn more searches into purchases.
For each shopper
Results follow each shopper’s own affinities, such as preferred brands, sizes, colors, or collections.
For audience segments
Set rules for groups of visitors based on their lifecycle stage, affinities, or traffic source.
You decide when personalization applies and how strongly it influences ranking.
Keep search results aligned with your business goals
Rank results by seasonality, stock levels, conversion rate, or profit margin, so search delivers the conversion and margin
Combine and weight criteria
Build each merchandising rule from one-to-one personalization, product attributes, and performance metrics, and set how much each one counts.
Pin, promote, or demote products
The rule moves products up or down automatically, and you can pin products to fixed positions. Apply it to all searches or to chosen queries, campaigns, or segments.
Rules that run on real-time data
Rules apply at every search, using current stock and each shopper’s live behavior, so rankings stay on strategy with less manual reordering.

A smooth path from the search box to the product page
Every step between a query and a product page is designed to be quick and clear, with relevant suggestions as shoppers type and filters that fit their search, so products are easier to find.
Predictive autocomplete
Suggest queries, products, collections, and popular searches from the first letters typed.
Faceting and filtering
Shoppers get filters that fit what they search for, so they only see options that apply to those products.
AI facet suggestions
AI reviews your facets and suggests merging duplicate values or correcting typos. Your team can apply, adjust, or ignore each suggestion.
