hello friends, I have a problem!
when i do auto collection, with the contains word in the title, it also adds products that should not be in it.
For example, i want to add “bag” as a word, but it also adds products with the title “baggy”
how do i fix this?
Hi
Use a whole word match: Instead of using the “contains” filter, use the “equals” filter to match the exact word you want. For example, instead of “contains ‘bag’”, use “equals ‘bag’” to only include products with the exact word “bag” in the title.
Add additional filters: Combine the “contains” filter with other filters to narrow down the results further. For example, you can add a filter based on the product type, vendor, or tag to ensure that only specific products with the desired word are included.
When using the “contains” word in the title for an auto-collection in Shopify, it will match any product title that includes the specified word, regardless of where it appears in the title. This can lead to unintended matches, such as including products with titles that contain variations or similar words.
To refine the auto-collection and avoid including products that should not be in it, you can try the following approaches:
Use a more specific keyword: Instead of using a general word like “bag,” try using a more specific keyword that is less likely to have variations or similar words. For example, if you want to include handbags, use “handbag” instead of just “bag.”
Combine multiple conditions: Instead of relying solely on the “contains” condition for the title, you can combine it with other conditions to narrow down the matching criteria. For example, you can add an additional condition based on the product type or tag to filter out products that should not be included.
Use exclusion criteria: If you know specific words or patterns that should be excluded, you can use the “does not contain” condition to exclude products with titles that include those words. For example, you can add a condition like “Title does not contain ‘baggy’” to exclude products with titles like “baggy.”
Modify the product titles or tags: If possible, consider modifying the titles or tags of the products that should not be included. This can help ensure that the auto-collection captures the desired products accurately.
It’s important to note that auto-collections based on title conditions have their limitations and may not always provide precise results, especially when dealing with variations or similar words. In such cases, manual collection creation or using other conditions like product tags, vendor, or product type can offer more control over the collection’s contents.
