Preview Search

By: Reflektion • December 2, 2019

Preview search is the ability to view relevant products as shoppers clicks on and begin typing into the search box on an eCommerce website. As shoppers enter text into the search bar, products or categories are displayed both visually and in text format. The displayed items can be either featured or re-ranked on an individual basis. These shopper level experiences can be easily configured via rules to enable total display control of product and category, keyword, and ranking.

Preview Search also caters to natural language queries using NLP technology. Reflektion’s deep natural language processing understands every retail query nuance. With blazing fast query speed, visual autofill, and smart images that display while visitors type, Preview Search drives shopping cart loading, time-on-site, visitor return rate, and revenue per search. 

Usually, Preview Search is implemented along with Full Page Search for a complete end-to-end search experience. Reflektion offers both preview and full page search. Reflektion also allows merchandisers to easily boost, bury, and pin products and categories based on needs such as seasonality. Also, as shoppers interact with the site, Preview Search continually prioritizes results, providing personalized, relevant product and category images and suggestions that engage shoppers more.
