You can enable content search within autocomplete and search results to surface blog posts, guides, and other editorial content alongside product listings. This unified search experience helps customers find both products and helpful information, supporting more informed purchasing decisions.
Integrating content search with product search creates a more comprehensive discovery experience that goes beyond transactional product finding. By surfacing relevant blog posts, how-to guides, or informational pages alongside products, you provide additional context that can help customers make better purchasing decisions while also improving engagement with your content marketing initiatives.
