Search Input Settings
The Search Input section enhances the shopping experience by controlling how customers interact with your store's search bar. By enabling predictive features, you can help customers find what they are looking for faster and increase conversion rates.
Summary
This section focuses on Product Suggestions. When enabled, the search bar will display a dropdown of relevant products as the user types. You can further customize this view by choosing whether to display the Vendor (brand name) or the Price directly within these search suggestions.
Why use this? Predictive search reduces the friction of browsing and helps "warm up" a sale before the customer even hits the search results page.

Follow these steps to customize your search bar behavior:
Open the Theme Editor: From your Shopify Admin, go to Online Store > Themes > Edit Theme.
