Check 1 / 16 MED impact In the full checklist

Predictive search with images + history

What this check is

A shopper who types three letters should already see products. Predictive search with thumbnails shortens the path from intent to product page, and it catches the misspellings and partial words that a submit-only search turns into zero results.

How to implement it

Enable the theme’s predictive search, or add an app that queries the catalogue on each keystroke, and include product images, price and the top matching collections in the dropdown. Store recent searches locally so returning shoppers can resume, and make sure the results are keyboard navigable.

How to verify it

Type a partial word on mobile, confirm results appear without submitting, tap a suggestion and land on the matching product, then check that a term with no matches offers collections instead of an empty box.
