How can I make predictive search include text from product descriptions too?

I’m using the Craft theme and it comes with predictive search, but the search only brings up ‘predictions’ if the keywords are present in the product title. Can I modify this so that keywords included in the product description are also included? Because some of my site visitors type a feature of the product instead of the name, and since the feature is mentioned in the product description, it doesn’t show up in predictive search — but it shows up on the search results page. Is there any way to modify the predictive search to scrape text in descriptions too?

Great question, @Ksunny

I would recommend finding and hiring a Shopify expert who is a developer that can code this feature into your store. Our Shopify experts directory can be found here.

Otherwise, a third-party app solution such as Smart Search & Filter may be worth looking into as it offers a variety of search features.

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

Ah I see, I’ll explore those options. Thank you Dirk :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello @Ksunny ,

You can add predictive search functionality by using third-party apps or you can hire a developer to code.

Happy to help, @Ksunny . Best of luck with the business!

Having the standard Shopify search to support this is not easy and you may need to hire a Shopify Expert. An easy way is to enable the search and suggestion for the Product Description in this app https://apps.shopify.com/ultimate-search-and-filter-1. You can go to App settings => Search index and enable Search and Suggestion for Product description.
