# Alfreya Smart Search

> Smart Search fixes typos, Turkish endings and a second language while the shopper types, then opens a panel of products, categories, pages and articles from your live catalog. “Sneeker”, “çantalar” and “tişört” all find products.

## The problem

Shopify’s built-in search matches letters, not meaning. A store full of bags answers “çantalar” with zero results because of one plural suffix. Most shoppers don’t try a second spelling. They leave.

## What we built

We read your catalog: titles, product types, tags, brands. As the shopper types, the query is fixed in the browser. Typos land on a word you actually use, Turkish endings stop getting in the way, and “sneaker” and “spor ayakkabı” point to the same shelf. Results come straight from your live catalog, with no copy to sync and no extra server on the way.

## What changes

Searches that used to end on an empty page now open a panel of products, categories and suggestions. There’s no extra server between the shopper and the results, and no fee per query.

## How it works

1. **We read your catalog**: Titles, types, tags and brands. Your team has nothing to set up.
2. **Fix it while they type**: Plurals, suffixes, typos and Turkish and English synonyms are sorted out in the browser, before the query goes anywhere.
3. **Answer with live stock**: The panel fills with products, categories, pages and articles, at this minute’s prices and stock. Nothing to sync.
4. **Improved daily**: AI reads the day’s searches and adds the words that came back empty. Fewer dead ends each week.

## What’s included

- **Turkish suffixes**: “Elbiseler” finds dresses. So does “elbiseyi”.
- **Typo tolerance**: “Sneeker” is corrected to a word your catalog uses, not to a dictionary guess.
- **Synonyms in two languages**: Turkish and English terms are linked. AI reviews searches daily and adds the words shoppers use that your titles don’t.
- **No “no results” pages**: When a search would come back empty, the closest match is shown and the panel says so.
- **Something to look at first**: Before a letter is typed, the panel shows popular searches and trending products.
- **SKU and barcode lookup**: Store staff can type a SKU, a barcode or a tag and land on the product.
- **Searches report**: Top queries, zero-result queries and clicks, inside the Shopify admin.

## Frequently asked questions

### How fast are the results?

Instant. The widget is light, and results reach the shopper with no search server in between.

### What happens with a word it hasn’t seen before?

The panel shows the closest match right away. Overnight, AI reads that search and adds the word, and the next shopper who types it lands on the right products.
