Definition<\/strong>: an eCommerce site search solution<\/a> is a search engine<\/strong> that is either built-in or integrated<\/strong> into your online store, and its job is to find the products the user is looking for by matching the user\u2019s search keywords with<\/strong> the products <\/strong>in your store. Site search encompasses more than just the search box; it also refers to faceted search, product ranking<\/strong>, and synonym management<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It filters your products based on user queries. All input is matched with product recommendations; be it product name, color, size or product code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

eCommerce search engines have some similarities with Google search. The difference is that Google does content, text search while eCommerce search does structured attribute search where filtering<\/a> and sorting are key features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
