# Prism Search & Merchandising Overview

## Prism Search & Merchandising: Smarter Search That Sells

*AI search intelligence, built-in merchandising control, and revenue you can actually measure.*

#### Smarter search. Merchandising you control. Revenue you can see.

Prism Search & Merchandising replaces your theme's basic search with a complete product-discovery system. It learns how your shoppers actually search, gives you full control over what they find, and shows you the revenue every search drives. Three strengths work together: intelligence, merchandising, and revenue attribution.

#### **1. Intelligence that finds what shoppers mean**

Prism reads your catalog and builds the search experience for you. It handles typos, synonyms, and full questions, so a shopper who types "waterproof jacket under $100" or misspells "snekaers" still lands on the right products.

- Typo tolerance and did-you-mean corrections catch misspellings automatically.
- AI synonym detection learns the words your shoppers use, like couch and sofa, with no manual mapping.
- Natural language and semantic search read intent, not just keywords.
- Automatic filters are discovered from your product data, so shoppers narrow by color, size, brand, price, and more.

#### 2. Merchandising that puts the right products first

You decide what shoppers see. Prism gives you merchant-friendly controls to promote, pin, hide, and curate, with no code and no developer.

- Boost, bury, pin, and hide products for any search term.
- Scheduled rules with start and end dates for sales and seasonal campaigns.
- Merchandising Views curate collections and your home page, rendered server-side so SEO stays intact.
- Banners and redirects promote campaigns and send terms like returns straight to the right page.
- Complementary recommendations cross-sell using real purchase data.

#### 3. Revenue attribution that proves the impact

Every search, click, and sale is tracked, so you can see exactly how much revenue search and merchandising drive. No guesswork.

- Search revenue, conversion rate, and zero-result rate on one dashboard.
- Revenue by surface across results, autocomplete, and recommendations, plus revenue by merchandising rule.
- Direct and assisted attribution, so you see both the products shoppers clicked and the orders search helped along.
- Zero-result reports that turn lost searches into recovered sales.

#### Built for merchants, not engineers

Prism does the technical work behind the scenes. You rename, enable, and approve plain-language suggestions. When a feature needs setup, the in-app guides walk you through it.

**Where to start:** Read Getting Started with Prism Search & Merchandising, then open Search Preview to see your new search in action.
