Enable search: Controls whether the search feature is available in your store. We recommend keeping this enabled for stores with more than 20 products.Enable predictive search: Adds instant search results as customers type. Requires “Enable search” to be enabled.
Disabling search may significantly impact user experience and conversion rates for stores with extensive inventories.

​
Best practices

  • Enable search and predictive search for stores with 20+ products
  • Use Pills for visual variants (color, size), Dropdown for technical options or 10+ variants
  • Test quick add functionality with your specific products before keeping it enabled
  • Keep animations enabled as theme respects accessibility preferences automatically
  • Monitor feature usage in analytics and disable underused features
  • Test features on actual mobile devices, not just browser emulation
Feature changes apply immediately but may require clearing browser cache to see updates on previously visited pages.
