Topic summary

A user is experiencing an issue where search results display incorrect product images for items with variants.

The Problem:

  • Products with variant-specific images all show the same image in search results
  • The correct images display properly on product pages and collection pages
  • Only search functionality is affected

Example Given:

  • Searching for “Adora” returns 5 products, but all show identical images instead of their respective variant images

User’s Concern:

  • They need variant images for customer experience
  • Removing variant images isn’t a viable solution
  • Seeking a way to make search results display the main product image or correct variant image

The issue appears to be a technical problem with how the search function retrieves and displays variant images, while other parts of the site handle them correctly. No solutions have been proposed yet.

Hello! I am hoping someone here can help me out! I have many products with Variants, and when you search for something on my site, it will come up with the products, but they all come up with the same images, even though the main image on the product page, and the collection pages show correctly.

This issue is happening on my products with variants that I have attached a picture to in the listing. I am aware a “solution” would be to not attach pictures to variants, but that isn’t a great option for my products, or my customers, they should be able to see what they are selecting.

Is there a way to have search results show the Main picture to the product, instead of whatever it is selecting.

An Example: in search bar type in “Adaro”

All 5 Adaro products show up but all with the same image.

If you view them in their collection, or their product pages, they have the proper picture. See here: https://plagueminiatures.com/collections/maori-mythos
