Managing products preferences in BigCommerce stores

With the help of products preferences, you can adjust how your search by products will work. For example, you can display out-of-stock products at the end of the search results, adjust the search by Custom Fields, etc. In this article, you’ll find the instructions for BigCommerce stores. If you have a store on another platform, you can find the appropriate instructions for this platform: Access products preferences Open the Preferences section > Products tab in your Searchanise control panel to access the products preferences. Products preferences description Preference Description General Auto spell correction Enables the Autocorrection feature. After entering the query in the search bar, the app autocorrects it and displays the search results for the corrected query. The autocorrection occurs using your store’s indexed product data and Hunspell Dictionary. Enable SKU substring search Switches on the substring search by SKU.
