Using product search keywords
When a visitor to your website searches for products by entering particular keywords into your website’s search box, the system matches those keywords with product names, categories or brands and shows them matching search results. If there are specific products that you would like to appear, that aren’t currently appearing, when certain keywords are searched, you can use the product search keywords app to add keywords to each product.
To add keywords to products you first need to install the app. To do this select from the menu. Find and select the ‘Product Search Keywords’ app and select INSTALL THIS APP.

You can then access a report of all of these failed searches in the reports section of your account. To access this report select from the menu and select the Failed Searches report:
The failed searches will then be shown to you in a table:
If you think that a particular search term that was entered should have yielded a result that it didn’t, you can manually add the keyword to the product to ensure that future searches will display that product.
