Whatever your customers type, they find what they want.
Shopiyz AI Search fixes typos, understands synonyms and everyday language, and suggests the right products as soon as shoppers start typing. A “no results” page no longer means a lost sale.

Why classic search loses sales
Same query, two very different results
A classic search box only finds exact word matches. When a shopper mistypes a letter or describes a product in their own words, they hit an empty page and often leave the store.
- sneakrsClassic search:No resultsShopiyz AI Search:The sneakers category and every related product
- leather bagpackClassic search:No resultsShopiyz AI Search:Understood as “leather backpack”, leather backpacks listed
- jean jacketClassic search:Only products with “jean” in the nameShopiyz AI Search:Every jean, denim and trucker jacket
- white summer dressClassic search:A few products containing all three wordsShopiyz AI Search:Results filtered by Dress · White · Summer season
- purple phone caseClassic search:No results (purple out of stock)Shopiyz AI Search:Lilac and lavender shades plus similar cases
The examples in this table are illustrative; real results depend on your store’s catalogue.
Nine capabilities that turn search into sales
Each one is useful on its own; together they turn your search box into the hardest-working sales assistant in your store.
Typo correction
Instantly matches misspellings with missing, extra or swapped letters, such as “sneakrs”, “jackett” or “shampo”, to the right product.
Spelling variant tolerance
Treats “colour” and “color”, “mens” and “men’s”, singular and plural forms as the same search.
Synonyms and related terms
Sees jeans and denim, coat and jacket, sneakers and trainers as the same need. You can add your own dictionary too.
Natural language understanding
Breaks sentences like “navy dress for a wedding size 10” into category, colour, size and occasion, then filters the results accordingly.
Smart autocomplete
Suggests queries, categories and products from the very first letter, based on your catalogue and the search behaviour in your store.
“Did you mean?”
When a query is ambiguous it proposes the most likely meaning, so shoppers switch to the right search with one tap.
Zero-result recovery
Never shows an empty page when a product is missing; it lists the closest alternatives, similar categories and in-stock equivalents.
Smart ranking
Ranks results not only by word similarity but also by stock status and popularity. Sold-out products move down.
Multilingual search
If your store is published in several languages, every visitor searches in their own language and matches product content in that language.
Query understanding
It reads the search box like a sentence
AI Search processes every query in three steps. However messy the input, the results page opens organised and filtered.

Normalise

Understand
The query is split into meaningful parts such as category, colour, size, brand and occasion.
Rank
Matching products are ordered by relevance and stock status, and the right filters are applied automatically.
Autocomplete
Shoppers see the right product before they finish typing.
Suggestions open the moment the search box is tapped. Often the first few letters are enough to reach the right product.
Query suggestions
Completions based on the products in your catalogue and the searches people often run in your store.
Category shortcuts
Categories that match the query, so shoppers jump to the right shelf in one click.
Product previews with images
Product image, name and stock status appear in the list before the results page even opens.
Recent and popular searches
When the box is empty, it shows the shopper’s recent searches and trending queries in your store.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about AI Search
What is AI Search and how is it different from classic search?
Classic search only finds exact word matches. AI Search fixes typos, understands synonyms and everyday language, splits the query into filters such as category, colour and size, and shows the closest alternatives when the product isn’t available.
Do I need technical knowledge to use it?
No. Your products are indexed automatically and the search box in your theme runs on AI Search. Adding a synonym, pinning or redirect rule is as simple as filling in a form in your store dashboard.
How does it understand typos?
It compares the query with the product names, categories and attributes in your catalogue. It tolerates missing, extra or swapped letters and spelling variants to find the most likely match.
Can I change the order of search results?
Yes. You can pin, boost or bury products for specific queries. The rules you define always take priority over automatic ranking.
What happens when someone searches for a product I don’t sell?
Instead of an empty page, the closest alternatives, similar categories and in-stock equivalents are shown. These searches are also listed in analytics, so you can see the gaps in your catalogue.
I sell in several languages. Does search work in each of them?
Yes. In every language your store is published in, visitors search in their own language and match the product content in that language.
How is search data used?
Search analytics works with aggregated behaviour data such as queries, clicks and orders, and is used only to improve search in your own store. Data is processed on Shopiyz’s GDPR and KVKK compliant infrastructure.
