Search function not working as intended

Topic summary

Search for the phrase “Ringer i gull” is returning both gold and silver rings instead of only gold items. The poster reviewed product tags and did not find an exact match to the phrase; screenshots show the search results and the tags in use.

A respondent observed that items with a “white silver” tag appear in the results for the gold-ring query, suggesting tag-based matching is pulling in silver products. In Shopify, product tags (metadata used for filtering/search) can influence results even without exact-phrase matches.

Suggested next steps: review and refine tags to ensure silver-related tags (e.g., “white silver”) are excluded from gold-ring searches or collections, and verify search settings/filters for how tags are weighted. The thread has no confirmed fix yet and remains open pending tag/search configuration adjustments.

When I use the search function and try to search for “Ringer i gull” It should only provide me with rings in gold, but it also brings me rings in silver.

I have checked the tags and none of them contains the phrase “Ringer i gull” exactly. I will provide screenshot of the tags. Is there any of these that could be the reason why the silver rings show in the search result for golden rings?

Hi @Loulouis

I noticed some “white silver” tags that is included for your gold rings search result. This might be the reason as any products that has this tag will show.
