There is a possibility to enable search by particular product metafields.

In the article, you'll learn how to enable search by product SEO data: page title, meta description. They are stored in the global.title_tag and global.description_tag Shopify metafields, respectively.

To enable search by product SEO page title and meta description, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Smart Search & Filter control panel > Preferences section > Products tab.
  2. Enter metafields separated by commas in the Search by metafields field. In our case, enter "global.title_tag, global.description_tag".  
  3. Apply the changes.
  4. Click the link at the top or the Force re-indexation button in the Dashboard section to start indexation.

That's it. After the indexation is complete, your customers can search by product SEO data: page titles and descriptions.

You can enable search not only by SEO data, but it is also possible to search by any product metafields.

Important
Import with ‘Search by metafields’ enabled is 3-5 times longer than usual due to limitations of the Shopify API.
