How can I make metafield content searchable on my clothing website?

[PurplePartner]

Hi everyone,

I am facing an issue and I couldn’t find any fix for it.

I am selling clothing online. Each piece of clothing has a unique article number. I introduced this article number on the Product Page using a metafield.

Some of the clients are using the article number to search for the product. I couldn’t find a way to make the metafield content (=the article number) searchable for the clients in the frontend. Some applications it was recommended to me, but I am not sure how to use them in an effective way. They were asking about the namespace.key, and I have no idea which one this should be.

My questions are

1. How can I find the namespace.key is? I found this article about metafield and namespace/ key, but I am not a developer and I am not quite sure how to deal with this information.

2. Is there any other way to make the content searchable?

Thank you!

Read this part carefully

https://shopify.dev/api/liquid/objects/metafield#access-metafields

product.metafields.namespace.key

product.metafields.article.id

Or whatever you named those things when created.

With a metafields definition you should be able to see overall syntax in the metafields settings of the admin

2. Is there any other way to make the content searchable?

Add the articles id’s to the product descriptions, title, or as a tag, etc.
