Beyond Shopify's Search Bar

Shopify's native search covers the basics. BRADsearch adds a layer that turns searches into sales - for merchants with complex catalogues, international customers, or high-value buyers who need more precision.

When Merchants Outgrow Shopify Search

Shopify's default search is adequate for small stores. These are the four signals that you've outgrown it.

Limited attribute and variant search
As your catalogue grows in complexity - more variants, more attributes, more combinations - Shopify's search doesn't scale proportionally. Customers searching by spec or variant find gaps.
International spelling variations
EU customers searching in their language, with their spelling conventions, hit friction. Shopify's typo tolerance doesn't handle cross-language spelling variations well for international stores.
Minimal analytics visibility
Shopify provides limited search analytics. You can't see which queries fail, what products customers can't find, or which searches lead to purchases. Growth decisions are made without search data.
Limited merchandising beyond basic sorting
Shopify gives you basic sort options. BRADsearch gives you rule-based merchandising - boost by stock, newness, or sales. Your search results reflect your business priorities.

What BRADsearch Adds to Your Shopify Store

Full Attribute Search
Every product attribute, variant, and custom field indexed into the search engine. Customers find by colour, size, spec, material - not just product name. Complex queries handled accurately.
International Typo Handling
Typo tolerance tuned for international ecommerce. Handles spelling variations across EU languages, product-specific terminology, and partial word matches. Every customer finds what they're looking for.
Visual Autocomplete
Product images appear in the search dropdown from the first keystroke. Customers visually confirm their product before they even hit enter - reducing drop-off and increasing add-to-cart from search.
Full Analytics Dashboard
Every query, every zero-result event, every conversion from search. Seasonal demand signals, catalogue gaps, high-value search terms - all visible and actionable from day one.
GDPR-Compliant Cookieless Analytics
Analytics run without cookies or personal data - critical for EU merchants. No consent banners needed for search analytics. Fully GDPR-native from the ground up, built by an EU-based team.
