Why is my search bar displaying irrelevant products?

Shopify Discussion

Hello, I need some help with my search bar.

For example, if I click on the search bar on my homepage, and I type in Drinks, it shows all the drinks but it also shows a few products that have nothing to do with drinks.

I tried to see if I could fix it but I can’t see anything that’s causing the other products to show up.

Any feedback would be great.

Hi, @GraemeC . I’m happy to help you out with this! I just have a few questions to make sure I give you helpful advice going forward.

  • To clarify, are you using your search bar on your storefront or in your Shopify admin?
  • Can you tell me more about the other types of products that appear when you search for “Drinks” in your example? If you have a screenshot of the products that appear that can help as well.

Once I have more information I can share more context or suggestions on how to fix this. That being said, in the meantime the following guides can help explain how the search works depending on where you’re searching:

If you’re searching on your storefront, you may also want to consider using the Shopify Search & Discovery app. You can use this app to customize the product search on your online store in a few different ways. This guide has more information on the Search & Discovery app if you’re interested.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
