How to Add Search Bar in Shopify

Are you looking to add a search bar to your Shopify store? You may have many products in your store and wonder how your customers can find the exact products they need. Look no further. In this article, we give an in-depth description of how to add a search bar to your store.


One great thing about Shopify is its wide variety of apps and plug-ins. You don’t need to code a solution for your store; you can simply visit the Shopify app store and find an app that solves your problem.  

Yes, before you say it, one of the worst things about Shopify is its wide variety of apps and plug-ins. There are just too many - how do you know which one to choose? This is why today, we would be two of my favourite apps for creating Search Bars.

AI Search and Product Filter |SB

AI Search & Product Filter - Shopify App



The AI Search and Product Filter App uses an AI smart Instant Search which is typo-tolerant and auto-suggests products as your customers are typing. This means your customers may find their products from a search even if they make a typo.  

It even uses Advance Synonyms that match searches to synonymous products in your store (If you sell boxes but your customer is searching for a bag, rather than saying the search isn’t found, it shows them the boxes).

Also, there is an Advance product filter that helps customers filter out products by tags, options, vendors, meta fields and more. 

You can take full advantage of the app's in-built analytics to help you see what products have been searched and filtered more often – If you know the items your customers are looking for more often, you will know the items to stock and/or produce more.

Finally, the AI Search and Product Filter App helps you promote bestselling products to boost sales.

The Personalized AI search allows your customers to use voice search, which is super convenient and boosts user experience.
