FAQ
What is semantic search for Shopify?
Semantic search helps shoppers find relevant products even when they don’t use the exact keywords from your catalog. It matches meaning and intent—so synonyms, natural language queries, and long-tail searches can still return relevant results.
What is product discovery?
Product discovery is the set of experiences that help shoppers find the right items faster—search relevance, recommendations, and alternatives. Strong discovery reduces friction and helps more sessions reach add-to-cart.
What is zero-results search and why it matters?
A zero-results search happens when a shopper searches and sees nothing relevant. It often ends the session early. Reducing zero results improves trust, engagement, and conversion.
Why Shopify native search underperforms
- Exact keyword matching means shoppers must guess the same words you used in product titles.
- Zero results happen when shoppers use synonyms, misspellings, or natural language queries.
- Weak relevance shows low-intent or unrelated products, which hurts trust and conversion.
How Inops improves product discovery
- Understands intent so “running shoes for rain” can surface waterproof models—even if the phrase isn’t exact.
- Finds similar products when the exact item isn’t available, reducing dead-ends.
- Improves ranking so the “right” products appear first—less scrolling, more add-to-cart.
