A closer look

Understand complex product searches without relying on exact keywords

The Index™ combines conversational product search, dynamic merchandising and inline Shop Similar for Shopify. It interprets what shoppers mean and helps them continue exploring within the results.

From a search request to a relevant product

  • Search in natural language. Queries can describe style, color, attributes, occasion and combinations of preferences.
  • Balance relevance and merchandising. Results can reflect shopper intent alongside catalog and commercial priorities.
  • Continue inside the results. Inline Shop Similar offers visual alternatives, while integrated LiveGrid content adds UGC and video to the discovery flow.

Questions, answered

What kind of searches does The Index understand?

The Index interprets natural-language requests that describe style, color, product attributes and shopping context. It combines this intent with catalog and commercial priorities to organize product discovery.

How is The Index different from Shop Similar?

The Index starts with a shopper's search request. Shop Similar starts with an existing product and finds visual alternatives. The Index includes inline Shop Similar so shoppers can refine discovery within the results.

Can The Index support merchandising and product content?

Yes. Dynamic merchandising balances catalog and commercial priorities, while integrated LiveGrid content adds shoppable context. Shoppers can continue discovery without repeatedly returning to a static results grid.
