Shopify includes a search bar, but its capabilities remain basic compared to what modern shoppers expect.
Shopify search looks for exact words in titles and descriptions. "sneakers" won't find "trainers" or "running shoes" - that's lost revenue with every search.
A typo leads to an empty page. According to the Baymard Institute, zero-result pages are one of the main causes of cart abandonment on e-commerce sites.
You can't promote certain products, configure synonyms, or redirect a query to a collection. Native search gives you zero control.
Unlike typical Shopify apps, Vectail integrates directly via a script tag in your theme.
Sign up at app.vectail.com, connect your Google Merchant Center account. Vectail automatically imports your Shopify catalog (already synced in Merchant Center).
In the Shopify theme editor, open layout/theme.liquid and add the script before the </head> tag:
<script src="https://cdn.vectail.com/vectail.js" data-client-id="YOUR_CLIENT_ID"></script>
Option B - Via Google Tag Manager (GTM)
If you already use GTM on your store, this is the fastest method - no source code access required. Create a Custom HTML tag, paste the script below, set the trigger to All Pages and publish.
<script> (function() { var s = document.createElement('script'); s.src = 'https://cdn.vectail.com/vectail.js'; s.setAttribute('data-client-id', 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID'); document.head.appendChild(s); })(); </script>
Your visitors find what they're looking for even with different phrasings. "waterproof hiking jacket" finds "trekking windbreaker" - no manual synonyms needed.
Search suggestions appear from the first keystrokes, with product previews. Visitors find what they're looking for faster, before even finishing their query.
Pin products at the top of results for a given query, boost your best margins, configure synonyms - from an intuitive dashboard.
Identify zero-result queries, most searched terms, click-through rate by position. Concrete data to continuously improve the search experience.
