Search
This guide describes the Theme settings > Search menu options.
Visitors to your store can enter search terms into the Search textbox, and search for occurrences of the terms throughout your store. Use the search settings to specify the parts of your store to include in searches. Refer to Search behavior.
For example, in the previous video, a search term is entered into the Search textbox. Items from the store's Products and Collections that match the search term are displayed in the search results.
For general guidance with adjusting a theme setting, refer to Settings overview and Shopify help: Theme settings.
