Predictive search powers the live search results shown from Everest’s search UI in the header and search overlay. It can return queries, collections, pages, articles, and products, with product cards optionally showing vendor and price information. Its behavior depends heavily on global search settings, so Theme settings and search snippet behavior matter as much as the template markup. Predictive Search overview

What this feature controls

  • Live search suggestions and grouped search result types
  • Product, collection, page, article, and query previews
  • Search UI behavior that depends on global search settings

How it is configured

1

Open the relevant template or theme settings

Start in the Theme Customizer or the related theme settings category that controls this feature.
2

Check the connected section or block

Review the product, header, cart, or search area that surfaces this helper so you can understand where the storefront output comes from.
3

Preview the real storefront behavior

Because these helpers react to live cart, product, or search data, verify the result with realistic content before publishing.

Key implementation notes

Predictive search can show queries, collections, pages, articles, and products in grouped result areas.
Global search settings control which product details appear and how the broader live-search experience behaves.
The feature is closely tied to the search UI rendered from the header and search snippet components.

Best practices

  • Start with the structural settings first, then refine decorative styling after the layout feels settled.
  • Preview the section with realistic content length to catch spacing and wrapping issues early.
