Why IntentSea Search
Start with what shoppers
are trying to find.
Three everyday search problems to explore in your store.
They use another name
Shoppers do not always use your product titles. Synonyms and forgiving search help connect the words they use to your catalogue.
They have too many choices
Filters let shoppers narrow by attributes such as price and brand while you decide how results are presented.
They leave without a match
Review no-result searches and click activity to understand where your search configuration or catalogue needs attention.
Future direction: demand-driven sourcing and restocking remain research. Follow the Lab.

Paid plans include a 14-day free trial. Annual billing is one payment per year. A trial request does not activate a subscription. Review billing terms in Shopify before accepting.
Before you choose
What happens if I exceed my plan limits?
Product and search limits are soft. Search continues and the app admin shows an upgrade banner.
What does the 14-day trial mean?
Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale include a 14-day free trial. This paid-plan trial is separate from requesting product access and from an AI experiment. Review the billing approval in Shopify before accepting a paid subscription.
What happens when I downgrade?
Saved settings are kept. Paid features become read-only and stop being served until the store upgrades again.
How do AI allowances work?
Monthly model call allowances are Growth 300, Pro 1,500 and Scale 6,000. Free and Starter include no model calls. Background jobs and model-generated Help answers share the allowance. Ordinary search continues when the allowance is reached.

Switching from another search app?
IntentSea can preview imports of synonyms, redirects and stop words. Filters, product pins and app-specific settings need separate configuration. Compare that setup work as well as the feature list.
Setup
From your catalogue
to your storefront.
Request trial access first. Once you have the app, follow the setup checklist in the admin.
Connect and sync
Connect your Shopify store and start the catalogue sync from the Home checklist. Check that the products you want to show are active and published.
Set up discovery
Choose your filters, add synonyms and configure result rules. Start with a few searches that matter to your store.
Enable and check
Enable the IntentSea Search & Filters app embed in the Shopify theme editor and save. Test autocomplete, results and filters on the storefront.
Something missing from the results?
Check sync status, product publication and the app embed. For theme-specific help, send your store address and theme name to contact@intentsea.com.
Questions
Know what
to expect.
Access, setup, importing settings and AI availability.
Can I start using Search immediately?
Trial requests are open. Send your store details by email to discuss access and setup. Sending a request does not install the app or activate a paid plan.
Which Shopify themes are supported?
The documented integration uses Online Store 2.0 themes, an app embed and optional app blocks. Contact us with your theme name to discuss your setup.
How does setup work?
Connect your store, sync the product catalogue, enable the IntentSea Search & Filters app embed in the theme editor and save. Check the search experience on your storefront.
What if products do not appear?
Check the catalogue sync status, that products are active and published, and that the app embed is enabled in your theme.
Can I bring settings from another app?
Import supports previewing synonym groups, search redirects and stop words from CSV or JSON. Filters, product pins and other app-specific settings cannot be imported.
Is AI automatically enabled?
No. AI features have plan-specific allowances and a separate controlled experiment. A product access request or paid-plan trial does not automatically enable AI for all shoppers.
Does Search provide restocking recommendations?
Sourcing and restocking are research directions. These capabilities are not available yet and have no launch date.
