Product Search features enhance product discoverability through your storefront.
The Product Search API lets you create storefront discovery experiences for Customers, enabling them to browse and search for Products.
Product Search features
You can use the Product Search API to implement the following features on your Product listing page:
- Full-text search: let Customers find Products by entering specific search terms.
- Filtering and facets: enable the feature to refine results by using dynamic filters (facets) based on Product Attributes, such as filtering Products by size, color, or brand.
- Sorting: order search results by various criteria such as Price, popularity, or newest arrivals.
Facets give you statistical information about your data. It answers questions like "how many t-shirts of size XL are there?" or "how many TVs are there that cost between US$500 and $600?" The first question is answered by a distinct facet, and the second one by a ranges facet.
For how Product Search indexes Products and which query, faceting, sorting, and pagination capabilities it supports, see Storefront search APIs overview.
