Introduction

Aurora Quick Search has a configuration panel in the backend of Aurora. The configuration panel for Quick Search allows full control over which results are shown and their order. From here, different result types can be enabled, disabled or limited.

This feature is usually (but need not be exclusively) used to power real-time drown downs for the main product search box to offer quick feedback on things the customer may be looking for as they type their search queries.

Accessing the Quicksearch

If you want to know how to implement the quicksearch features into your Front-end, please see our Ajax Documentation here. Using this you can integration the search feature into any area of your store's Front-end with ease.

Configuring Quick Search

Access Quick search 

To configure Quick Search, go to the Merchandising > Search Settings > Quick Search tab.

Popular Search Terms

From this configuration panel, you can:

• Limit the number of results using the Number of results setting
• Choose how they are sorted using the Sort by setting
• Set the period of time from which popular terms will be selected using the Popular in the last (hours) setting.

Find this in the Aurora Back-end under Merchandising > Search Settings > Quick Search.

Configuring Search Result

To configure search results, you need to navigate to the Merchandising > Search Settings > Quick Search page and view the Search Result Block panel.

To enable each result type, just drag one or more of the desired blocks to the section Enabled search blocks.

The order in which you place your blocks here will be the same order that results appear in the front end.
