What Makes Product Search Critical

A strong product search allows customers to:

• Find relevant items quickly, even with typos or vague queries
• Discover trending and in-stock products
• Navigate categories and FAQs without leaving the page
• Move from search to purchase smoothly

Clerk.io’s AI search engine optimizes all of the above, driving higher average order value (AOV) and reducing bounce rates with real business impact.

AI-Driven Features That Outperform Generic Search

Clerk.io’s product search engine is tailor-made for ecommerce stores:

• Sales-based ranking uses live and historical order data to promote best-sellers
• Natural language processing (NLP) with synonym support, typo correction, and better understanding of user queries
• Category & content search blends product listings with blog articles, FAQs, and guides for richer results
• Visual, no-code editor allows marketers to tweak the search layout without developer assistance
• Attribute ranking lets teams prioritize search results by model, brand, or custom attributes
• Direct-match boost ensures exact attribute queries (e.g., SKUs) generate precise results

• Instant results within two keystrokes
• Relevant results from the first session, even without cookies
