E-Commerce Search software helps online sellers offer a better shopping experience to consumers and buyers by allowing them to easily find the best products for their needs. It analyzes and indexes product data and other e-commerce information to make it easier for buyers to find the most suitable options. This type of software also provides intelligent product recommendations, help reduce cart abandonment, improves customer engagement, and boosts revenue. E-commerce search software is predominantly used by merchandisers and e-commerce platform administrators. The data and analysis it provides also helps marketing and sales teams to improve their strategies and drive more revenue.
While this type of software focuses exclusively on e-commerce search, some products also include certain features of e-merchandising software and e-commerce personalization software. E-commerce search software should not be confused with enterprise search software, which focuses on business information rather than e-commerce data. To deliver the best search results, this type of software often integrates with e-commerce platforms and product information management (PIM) software.

Structure and index product data and e-commerce information
Provide multiple search options such as autocomplete and filters
Deliver personalized search and product recommendations
