# Quick search

### Search that converts browsers into customers

For stores with more than a handful of products, search is often the fastest path to purchase. A customer who knows exactly what they want — and can find it in under 10 seconds — is far more likely to convert than one who scrolls through collections. Avante's Quick search overlay surfaces results instantly as customers type, with visual product cards rather than a wall of text links.

{% hint style="success" icon="sparkles" %}
Search result types, filters, synonyms, and product boosting are configured in the [Search & Discovery app](https://apps.shopify.com/search-and-discovery) — not in the theme.

### Result display

Configure layout and image display separately for Products, Collections, and Blog posts. For blog posts you can also toggle **Show image** and **Show date**.

### Popular searches

Displays up to 5 curated links when the search field is empty — before the customer has typed anything. Use this to highlight popular collections, current promotions, or seasonal categories.

**Menu** — select a Shopify menu to pull links from. Nested items are not shown.

{% hint style="success" icon="sparkles" %}
**Pro tip:** Create a dedicated "Search suggestions" menu in Shopify Admin and update it seasonally. It costs nothing and gives every new visitor a curated starting point the moment they open search.
{% endhint %}

### 'All results' button

**Button label** — custom text for the button linking to the full search results page. Leave empty to hide the button.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://staylime.com/docs/avante-themes/theme-settings/quick-search.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
