The product search page is how users browse and find products in your catalog. It combines text search, a filter sidebar, sorting options, and infinite scroll to handle catalogs of any size.

Searching products

The search bar appears at the top of the catalog page. Type a query to search across product names, descriptions, and other indexed fields.

  • Results update as you type (with a short delay to avoid excessive searches)

  • The search query is stored in the URL — you can share or bookmark filtered views

  • Clear the search field to return to the full catalog

Filtering

The filter sidebar narrows results without clearing your search query. Available filter types depend on your catalog configuration:

Filter typeHow it works

Checkbox list

Multi-select from a list of values with result counts. Expands to show more after 10 items

Dropdown

Single or multi-select from a dropdown menu with an "All values" default

Category

Browse and select from the category tree

Date

Filter by a specific date

Date range

Filter by a start and end date

Filters display result counts next to each option, showing how many products match before you select.

Filter state

  • All active filters are synced to the URL as query parameters

  • Click Clear Filters to reset all active filters at once

  • Filters persist when you navigate away and return to the same page

Sorting

Use the sort dropdown to order results. Sort options depend on how your catalog is configured but typically include:

  • Name (A-Z / Z-A)

  • Price (low to high / high to low)

  • Date added (newest / oldest)

  • Custom configured sort fields

The current sort is also stored in the URL.

Admin: custom product ordering

Administrators can set a manual product order within a category:

  1. Navigate to the category's product page

  2. Open the Manage Sorting dialog

  3. Drag and drop products to set the desired order

  4. Use the search field to find and add specific products to the sorted list

  5. Save the order

When manual ordering is active, the sort dropdown shows "As Configured" as the default option.

Product result cards

Each search result displays a product card with:

  • Product image, name, and vendor

  • Pricing information

  • Add to Quote — Add the product directly to a quote (requires sales permission)

  • Add to Cart — Add to the shopping cart (if the storefront is enabled)

  • Compare — Add the product to the comparison tool

  • View Bundle Items — For bundle products, view the included items

Pagination

The catalog uses infinite scroll — results load automatically as you scroll down the page, 20 products at a time. A loading indicator appears while the next page is being fetched.

For admin views and other search contexts, a standard paginator is available with page size options of 10, 20, 50, or 100 results per page.
