Help shoppers find what they want before they finish typing
Respond to what a shopper is typing in real time. Text Suggestions surface pre-filtered matching terms as they type, narrowing the path to the right results instantly. Visual Product Suggestions show actual product tiles sorted by Trending Score alongside those terms, so a shopper can click straight through to a product without completing the search at all.
The search bar stops being a text field. It becomes the fastest route to a sale.

Everything you need to know
Tagalys Predictive Search is the real-time search suggestion experience that responds as a shopper types in your Shopify search bar. It has two components. Text Suggestions surface pre-filtered search terms that match the shopper's query as they type, based on a prefix match with the tags, fields, and attributes configured for search in your Tagalys dashboard. Visual Product Suggestions show actual product tiles alongside those terms, sorted by Trending Score, so a shopper can click straight through to a product page without completing the full search query.
Tagalys Text Suggestions use prefix matching to find terms from your product catalogue that begin with what the shopper has typed so far. If a shopper types "occa," Tagalys surfaces matching terms like "Occasionwear" and "Occasion dresses" immediately. The shopper can click any suggestion and land directly on the filtered results for that term, reducing the number of steps between their intent and a relevant product page. Tagalys surfaces up to ten text suggestions alongside up to six product suggestions at any one time.
Tagalys Visual Product Suggestions display actual product tiles in the search bar panel as a shopper types. Products are matched using the same prefix logic as Text Suggestions and sorted by Trending Score, so the most relevant and best-performing products appear first. A shopper who sees the right product in the panel can click directly to the product page without pressing enter, completing the full query, or navigating through a results page. This reduces friction significantly, particularly on mobile where typing a full query takes more effort.
Yes. Text Suggestions are generated from the tags, fields, and attributes configured for search in your Tagalys Search Accuracy settings. If an attribute is included in the search index, it can appear in Text Suggestions. If you want to exclude a specific attribute or category from appearing in suggestions, you adjust the Search Accuracy configuration accordingly.
Pinned Searches and Popular Searches appear in the search panel before a shopper types anything. Predictive Search, covering Text Suggestions and Visual Product Suggestions, appears once a shopper starts typing and the panel responds to their active input. They serve different moments in the search experience. Pinned and Popular Searches guide shoppers at the point of opening search. Predictive Search guides shoppers at the point of active intent, when they are already looking for something specific.
