Collections in search results

Store Design

Topic summary

A user asks whether Shopify search results can display collections alongside products, noting that currently only products appear.

Proposed Solution:

  • Another participant suggests using Shopify’s free Search and Discovery app, which allows customization of search preferences including collections, blog posts, pages, and products.
  • A screenshot demonstrates the app’s configuration options.

Limitation Identified:

  • A follow-up clarifies that the app only enables collections in predictive search (dropdown suggestions), not on the actual search results page itself.
  • The question remains: how to display matching collections at the top of the main search results page.

Current Status:

  • The issue is unresolved. Participants are still seeking a method to include collections in full search result pages, not just predictive search dropdowns.

Hello there,

Is it possible for the search results to return collections mixed with products?
Currently I can only get products in the search results.

But there you can only enable Collection search in the predicative search result, not in the search result. Is there a way to show matching collections at the very top in the actual search result page?

Did you find a way to resolve this?

Sorry, no. If you find out a way to also show Collections as search results, I would be eager to know…
