Customers are looking for merchandise that is not in the store's assortment, they are using colloquial language (they are used to using search engines like Google), or they are typing in queries with typos. In order to prevent misplaced searches, we have implemented a new Searching Pro service, based on the recently implemented Elastic Search technology in IdoSell stores.

Searching Pro extends the existing full-text search engine in the store with additional functions that help to sell by suggesting search phrases, managing phrase redirections or sorting the results based on sales attractiveness. It allows shoppers to more easily find the products they are looking for, thanks to which the conversion of orders placed directly in your store can improve by up to a dozen or so percent! How is it possible?

Phrases differ, but you can change it!

For example, in a store with sanitary fittings, some of the most frequently searched phrases are "faucet for sink" and "kitchen taps", resulting in an empty results page. Introduction of a redirection to the phrase "kitchen faucet" for these phrases resulted in a page with over a hundred results.

As a result, the customer, typing the wrong phrase is still able to find the assortment they are looking for. The chance that they will make a purchase in your store definitely increases.

Check what exactly potential customers are looking for

With Searching Pro you get access to advanced statistics of searched phrases. Thanks to that, in case of searches for goods, which are not offered by your shop but match the profile of your store, you can supplement your store with the desirable products.

Example: some of the most popular phrases returning empty results are 'maple syrup' and 'salted caramel' in a food store that does not have these goods in its offer.
