Search
On this page
To build great ecommerce search experiences, you need to consider at least three parts:
- An as-you-type autocomplete menu with search suggestions for popular and recent searches, matching products, and editorial content
- A product listing page with rich filtering and navigation options to refine the search results
- A “no results” experience that engages users even if no search results match their search
When building these parts of the search experience, you can leverage these Algolia features, and libraries:
- Search and Discovery UI kit
- Query Suggestions
- Autocomplete UI library
- InstantSearch UI library
- Rules
- Personalization
- AI re-ranking
- Voice search
