E-commerce Search Engine

The search engine module is available in the Revenue plan as addon, and is included in the Individual plan.

Overview

The search engine feature enables a search engine for your shop (it has MeiliSearch under the hood).

When the search Engine is enabled, the product data will be synchronized to the search engine and an improved search experience will be available:

1. Faster search results;
2. Similarity-search, eg. typing "Kawsaki" will find "Kawasaki"
3. Graceful accent handling, eg. "Präziser Büro-Schlüsselanhänger" will be found when searching for:
   • Büro
   • Buro
   • Buero
   • Prazis
   • Präzis
   • Praezis
4. Semantic search - Coming Soon!
5. AI-augmented search - Coming Soon!
