Search Suggestions

Suggestions bring highly relevant suggestive search results while the user is typing providing a better customer experience, as users can type less and find what they are looking for more quickly, which is really useful on mobile devices. These suggestions are based on the indexed data feed.

You can learn more about suggestions and how to activate them by reading the article 'Search Suggestions'.

Doofinder's mobile layer is fast, effective and 100% responsive. Offer your customers a seamless search experience full of relevant results at their fingertips. This feature also includes the convenience of Voice Search.

Deliver relevant results when your users search by voice on your eCommerce site. This way your clients can send the search query, similar to Google Voice Search, by speaking into the microphone. The voice search microphone shows up out of-the box by using the V7. Offer search suggestions, autocomplete and 'Maybe you meant' results. The Search Engine suggests searches and filters adjustments in a predictive way.

This feature is enabled by default on mobile. To activate it on desktop, please email our Support Team through our contact form. If needed, simply log in to your Doofinder Admin Panel. Click on 'Help' in the top blue bar, then select 'Contact our Support Team’.

Your customers will be able to search for products within your eCommerce site by uploading photos, improving the user experience by simplifying the search process. These photos can be taken on site or uploaded directly from their device.
