Search behaviour

By default, predictive search will return query, product, collection, and page results. You can change this setting in theSearch & Discovery app.
Determining relevant search results
Predictive search presents shoppers with a limited set of highly relevant results. By default, a maximum of 10 possible results are shown across all the queried result types. Because of this limit, there are typically more results available on the dedicatedsearch results pageof your store.
Search results are based on the searchable properties of the different possible result types. By default, the following properties are searched:
- Products: title, product type, variant title, and vendor
- Pages, collections, and blog articles: title
