BUG REPORT: Searching for a collection causes an error in Shopify Admin

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A bug occurs when searching for collections in Shopify Admin using partial search terms.

Specific Issue:

  • Searching for “winter” (a partial match) triggers an error page stating “There’s no page at this address”
  • Exact collection names work correctly (e.g., “Winter Kids” returns the collection)
  • Collections affected: Winter Mens, Winter Womens, Winter Kids

Expected Behavior:
Partial search terms like “winter” should display a standard search results page showing all matching collections, rather than throwing an error.

Status: The issue remains unresolved with no responses yet. An image screenshot appears to be attached documenting the error.

Problem:

Searching for a collection causes an error page in the Shopify Admin area if the collection is not “exact”

Consider the following setup:

Collection names: Winter Mens, Winter Womens, Winter Kids

Typing in the word “winter” causes this error:

There’s no page at this address

Check the URL and try again, or use the search bar to find what you need.

Expected Behavior:

Tying in the word “winter” should result in a standard SEARCH and RESULT page, even if the string is not “exact”

It should be noted that typing in “Winter Kids” exactly as the collection appears works, but typing in “winter” causes the error
