Help customers and internal teams find the right thing faster
Relevant product discovery for every channel and language, plus global search across products, orders, customers, collections, assets and custom records your team registers in the Vendure Dashboard.
Search spans the whole ecommerce platform
Customers need to find the right product inside the catalogue and pricing available to them. Sales, service, and operations teams need to find the right order, customer, product, or record without navigating through page after page.
Vendure connects both experiences. Storefront discovery and global Dashboard search work across the same commerce data, permissions, brands, and markets.
Relevant products for every customer and catalogue
Facets and filters that match your catalogue
Let buyers narrow large catalogues by the attributes that matter in your industry, including product data specific to your business.
Multi-language discovery
Give each market a search experience in its own language while keeping product data, brands, and regional catalogues connected.
Results for each channel and language
Search returns the catalogue of the buyer's channel and language, and can filter to items in stock. Run a separate channel when a customer group needs its own catalogue.
Merchandising teams control what customers find
The people responsible for product discovery can tune relevance from the Vendure Dashboard instead of filing an engineering request for every change. Synonyms and promoted or hidden results need Typesense, from Growth. Popular and zero-result queries come with search analytics, from Scale.
Guide important products to the right position for selected search terms and reduce the visibility of results that should not lead a campaign or category.
Maintain synonyms so internal product terminology, industry language, abbreviations, and the words customers type all lead to the right products.
See popular and zero-result queries to identify missing synonyms, catalogue gaps, and opportunities to improve the buying experience.
Global search for the people running ecommerce
Sales, customer service, catalogue, and operations teams can search across the Vendure Dashboard from one place. Find products, orders, customers, collections, assets, and the custom records your business adds to Vendure.
Results follow each person's permissions. On Enterprise, access policies narrow results further.
Search that grows with the business
Large, complex catalogues
Custom mappings index your own product data, and changes reindex the affected product automatically.
Updates without storefront disruption
Refresh the search index in the background and keep the buying experience available while catalogue data changes.
Self-hosted or managed
Run the search infrastructure with Vendure on your own environment, or, once Vendure Cloud is generally available in Q1 2027, let Vendure Cloud run search for you.
Part of one plan, not a separate product
Search comes with your plan rather than as a separate product: catalog search on the Database search engine from Starter, the Typesense search engine and global search from Growth, and search analytics from Scale. There is no separate search licence.
It works alongside B2B buying, B2B pricing and catalogues, Storefront, and Operations and governance as one connected part of the ecommerce platform.
