Ecommerce Search & Product Recommendations

Shoppers type what they want in plain words — and actually find it.

Built for: Stores with catalogs too big for filters alone — thousands of products and up.

What it is

Search Studio is the search and recommendation system for very large online stores. A shopper types something like “oak dining table for six” and gets exactly that — not everything that happens to mention oak. It also suggests pieces that go together and can plan a whole shoppable room.

  • Understands everyday shopping language
  • Suggests matching pieces, with the reason

How it works

  1. 01A shopper searches in plain words; the system translates that into exact product attributes like type, material, and color.
  2. 02Results come back ranked, with matching pieces suggested — and the reason they fit.
  3. 03Every change to how results rank is tested against fixed scenarios before it goes live.

The mechanism

A plain-words search becomes exact product matches
