What is the Algorithm of our Search?

Our Search engine analyses the information and returns the products/collections/pages/blog posts that match mostly with the entered-search terms.

The search result mainly depends on the Field area and the Minimum percentage a search term must match.

Search field

Our search engine looks for matched products in the fields: Product Title, Product Type, Vendor, Tag, Product options, SKU, and Description. By default, we turn off the Description.

You could disable a specific search field or change these field's priorities into your preferred priority order. Here is the usage of this in-app setting: How to use Search fields?

Minimum percentage a search term must match 

The default and recommended minimum percentage a search term must match is 100% for those that are 2-word, and 85% for those that are 3-word and above.

You could modify the Minimum must match by using the in-app "Advanced settings" setting. Click here for the instruction.
