SmartSearch
Search that understands what your customers mean.
Hybrid product search combining semantic (vector) search with traditional keyword matching, enhanced by AI re-ranking. Replaces or augments the merchant's existing on-site search. Understands intent, tolerates typos, matches synonyms, and ranks by relevance to what the customer actually wants.

The problem it solves
Keyword search engines fail for natural language queries. 'Something moisturizing for winter' returns zero results on a keyword engine — even if the perfect product is in the catalog. Meanwhile, 15-30% of on-site searches return no results, and visitors who don't find what they're looking for in the first few results leave. SmartSearch closes this gap by understanding what customers mean, not just what they type.
