By default, Boost filter & search works on the Default collection theme template. If you use a custom theme template, you need to manually enable our app on it.

âš  Boost AI Search and Discovery's Filter & Search feature only work on Collection pages and Search result pages.

  1. Check your collection's theme template to find out which one it is applied on live page. Follow this Shopify article to access your collection's Theme template settings.

  2. After identifying the applied custom Theme template on your collection, go to your Shopify admin > Online store > Themes > find the [Target Theme] you'd like to adjust > click Customize.

  3. In your Theme editor, select Collection from the drop-down list to start edit your Collection page.

  4. From the Theme template list, select the one that you identified from your Collection's Theme template in Shopify admin from Step 1.

    For example, my Boost Filter & Search is currently not displayed on my Shirt collection page and the collection has my custom boost-sd-original theme template applied.

    Therefore, from the Theme template list, I will select "boost-sd-original" to proceed.

  5. From the left sidebar, click Add section > select Apps tab > select Product grid with Filters by Boost AI Search & Discovery.

  6. Drag and drop your Boost's Product Grid with Filters & Search to change its position to your liking.

  7. Click Save to save your changes.
