Hey @LukeBTDC It will be “.liquid” file not a “.json”.
Thanks.
Topic summary
-
Issue: Product search on a Shopify store returns no products. The store owner asks if a third‑party app is needed or if built‑in search can be configured.
-
Investigation: After reviewing the provided URL, contributors confirm search only returns articles/pages, not products. Multiple replies point to a theme/code issue rather than needing an app.
-
Suspected cause: The search query/template is misconfigured. One commenter notes the query treats product searches like page searches and suggests using the standard endpoint format (e.g., /search?q=door).
-
Code review: The owner first shared a JSON section file (not the relevant template), then provided a Liquid file (search.scapp.products.liquid) that loops over search.results assuming each item is a product, which likely omits or mishandles non-product results and may exclude products from being queried/displayed correctly.
-
Actions/next steps: Helpers requested the correct Liquid template and indicated they can fix the query to include products. Adjusting the search template/query is the proposed path; no third‑party solution is deemed necessary.
-
Status: Unresolved/ongoing. The Liquid code snippet is central to diagnosing and fixing the issue.
