Search tools
Where search loses the sale.
A search that finds nothing, or the wrong thing, can send a ready buyer away.
-
AI Smart Search
Shoppers search with a sentence, not a product name.
A shopper who describes what they want can still find the right product. You can set search to match what shoppers mean, not only the words they type.
-
AI Synonyms
Shoppers use different words than your product names.
Shoppers can find your product with their own word for it. Sledge can build synonyms from your product names and tags, or you can add your own.
-
Personalization
One word can mean different things to different shoppers.
Each shopper can see their closest matches first, based on what they searched for, clicked, added to cart and bought.
-
Suggestion
Shoppers don’t know what to search for.
Shoppers can start from a search you suggest instead of a blank box. Sledge can show your list of search phrases before and while they type.
-
Stop word
A small word like “the” can put the wrong products first in a search.
A search for “the polo” can find the same polos as “polo”, once you list the words Sledge should ignore.
-
Redirect
Some shoppers search for your returns or sale page, not a product.
Shoppers can land straight on the page they wanted. You can send a search term to any page you choose.

What does Sledge search do?
Sledge is a Shopify search app that helps shoppers find what they typed, even a misspelled product name or a full SKU. You choose which products come first. A search that finds nothing can still show your best sellers. Sledge also includes filters and bundles, plus search analytics that show which searches lead to sales.
Can I choose how my Shopify search matches products?
With Sledge, yes. It can match typos, full SKUs, different product names and other search terms. On any paid plan, AI Smart Search can also match by meaning. You can choose which product details matter, such as the title, tags or SKU, and add your own synonyms.
Does Sledge handle typos?
Yes, in product titles and brand names. A shopper who types “leathr belt” still sees your leather belts. Sledge finds a product when shoppers type its full SKU. To point a misspelling at the right product yourself, add it as a synonym. Here is why Shopify search fails on a misspelled word.
How do synonyms work, and is there a limit?
On any paid plan, Sledge can build synonyms and typo variations from your product names, brands, types and tags. You can also add your own, choose whether each works one way or both ways, and import or export them as a CSV file. Sledge does not cap the synonyms you add, per group or per store. Here is how to set up search synonyms.
Can Sledge match what shoppers mean?
Yes, in Sledge, on any paid plan. You choose between three modes. Keyword matches the words shoppers type, semantic matches by meaning, and hybrid does both. Keyword is the default, and the semantic strength setting appears only under hybrid. AI-Conversational Search is off until you switch it on, and it can apply a price limit from a sentence like “polo under $40”.
What do shoppers see when a search finds nothing?
In Sledge search, shoppers can see a message that repeats what they typed, search tips, searches to try and your best sellers. You can pick those searches and products yourself. A redirect opens a page you choose when a shopper types the exact term you set and presses Enter, even if that search finds products. Your Suggestion Dictionary changes which phrases shoppers see, not which products a search finds.
Can I choose which products come first in Shopify search?
With Sledge, yes. For each search word, you can pin, boost, push down or hide products, or add a product from another collection at a set spot. These merchandising rules apply in the drop-down and on the results page, and you can schedule them. Arranging search results this way is called searchandising.
Can I show a bundle or discount in Shopify search results?
With Sledge, yes. Fixed bundles, Buy X Get Y and volume discounts can appear in the drop-down and on the results page, for the searches you choose. Shoppers can pick options and add the whole bundle. You can also put higher-value products first in a search or add a row of best sellers or trending items.
How do I set up Sledge search on my Shopify theme?
Sledge search works with any theme, with no code. Open your theme editor, switch on Sledge Core (the switch that turns Sledge on) and save. Then switch on search in Sledge, pick Instant Search (the drop-down), the Search Result Page or both, and preview it. Last, fix your top searches with synonyms, rules and offers. Search stays off until you switch it on, and you can switch it off again at any time.
Which searches make money?
In Sledge, Analytics lists your top search terms, with how often each was searched, its click rate, its conversion rate and the sales it brought in. It also lists the searches that found nothing, each with a suggested fix. You also see sales for the drop-down, the results page and each merchandising rule.
Which search problems should I fix first?
On any paid plan, Growth Intelligence reads your store’s searches and lists fixes, such as one for searches that find nothing. It marks each fix High or Medium priority, so you can start with the High ones. One total, labeled “Est. potential”, shows the sales the fixes could add each month. Each fix opens the right page in Sledge, where you set it up. Nothing changes in your store until you save.
