Planning product search and filters for an online store

When you need search and guided selling

Buyers often know a machine, a part number or a task, not your SKU. Search must connect their words to valid products.

Part numbers return nothing

Buyers type a supplier code, an old part number or a trade term, and search shows zero results.

Results ignore compatibility

Two products look alike, but only one fits the buyer’s machine, model or revision, and search can’t tell.

Sales reps answer the same questions

Buyers call or email to ask which product fits, because filters and product pages don’t answer it.

Search and guided selling use cases

Better search pays off when your catalog is large, technical or account-specific, and buyers can’t browse to the answer.

Typical situations where search and guided selling deliver the most value:

  • Spare parts and replacements

    Buyers search by part number or cross-reference and need the verified replacement when an item is discontinued.

  • Products that must fit equipment

    Compatibility depends on machine, model, year or revision, and a wrong match means returns and lost trust.

  • B2B accounts with own assortments

    Each customer may only see and buy its permitted products, prices and terms, in suggestions as well as results.

  • Choosing by application or task

    Buyers describe what they need to do, and a short question flow turns that into a valid selection.

  • Large technical catalog

    Thousands of similar products differ by a few attributes, so missing units and synonyms break search and filters.

  • Native search falls short

    Your platform’s built-in search can’t handle your queries, and you need to decide whether to tune, extend or replace it.

AI can turn a buyer’s own words into a structured request. Product facts, compatibility and purchase rights still come from your data and rules, checked by your experts.

Agents at every stage, engineers steering

  1. Plan

    Agents draft specs, user stories and acceptance criteria from your tickets, docs and code. Engineers sharpen them with you.

    • Claude Code
    • OpenAI Codex
    • MCP
  2. Audit and estimate

    Agents map your codebase, dependencies and risky modules before we quote, so estimates rest on facts.

    • Claude Code
    • Cursor
  3. Build

    Coding agents work in your repository with project rules and context. Engineers steer and own the design.

    • Claude Code
    • Cursor
    • GitHub Copilot
    • OpenAI Codex
  4. Test

    Agents write unit and end-to-end tests with every change, so testing stops being the bottleneck.

    • Playwright
    • PHPUnit
    • Pest
  5. Review and secure

    Every pull request gets an AI review and a security scan. A senior engineer approves before merge.

  6. Ship and operate

    Quality gates run in CI on every change. Agents help trace incidents from logs and alerts.

What our search services include

Choose one service or the full project. We improve what you have before adding a new search tool.

Search audit on real queries

We review failed and zero-result queries, identifiers, synonyms and attributes to find what blocks a selection.

Product data for search

We fix part numbers, units, synonyms and attributes, because search can only find facts that exist.

Compatibility and cross-references

We connect maintained compatibility rules and cross-references, so results reflect real fit, not similar text.

Guided selling and product finders

We build short question flows, product finders or configurators that ask for missing facts instead of guessing.

Personalized results within account rules

We tailor results to the account’s assortment, selected equipment, region or stated task, within its prices and buying rights.

Search platform selection and integration

We compare tuned native search, hosted search services and custom options on your tasks, then integrate the one that passes.

How we work

We start with one category, one channel and the hard selections your product experts can judge.

1. Collect real buyer queries

You share search logs, sales questions and expert answers, including incompatible and restricted examples.

2. Compare options on the same tasks

We compare your current search with better settings and other tools on the same queries.

3. Build the selection flow

We implement data fixes, rules, questions and handoff to an expert, then test with your product team.

4. Launch and monitor

We roll out in stages, watch zero-result queries and failed updates, and retest after every rule change.

    We stay close to the problem, speak openly, involve the right experts, and do not leave clients alone with delivery risk.

Frequently asked questions

A question-and-rule-based way to help buyers choose, such as a product finder, quiz, configurator or conversational flow. AI is optional; the key questions and selection rules matter most.

Not necessarily. We first test your current search, with better data and settings, on the same tasks. Replace or extend it only for a gap that a new option actually closes.

It often needs part numbers, verified substitutes, account-specific assortments and quote rules. We test each of these explicitly.

No. AI can map buyer language to facts that exist. Unknown compatibility, approvals or specifications need an authoritative source, a clarifying question or a handoff to an expert.

We fix data and synonyms, then check results against your experts’ answers.

We quote by catalog and rule complexity, integrations, access and testing. Conversion also depends on traffic, stock and assortment, so we measure it separately against your baseline.

Test your hardest search scenarios

Bring difficult queries, expert answers and incompatible or restricted examples. We’ll suggest where to start.
