Search Behavior Settings
The search experience is one of the most critical features of any modern eCommerce store. The Materia theme offers a flexible and fast search system with built-in styling, content targeting, trending suggestions, and collection highlights — all customizable.
Search Box Display Style
Choose how the search input behaves when a user activates it.
Popup Search Window

Opens a centered, full-screen overlay with a clean and focused search experience.
Sliding Drawer Search

Slides down from the top of the screen as a sleek drawer, allowing users to search without disrupting the rest of the layout.
These layouts are ideal for stores that want a modern, minimal search interface.
Search Results Type
Control what kind of content the search bar returns when users enter a query.
Search All Content (Products, Blogs, Pages)
Returns results across all indexed areas of your store:
Products
Blog Posts
Pages (e.g., FAQ, About, Shipping Info)
Use this mode if your store includes content-rich resources or educational materials.
Search Only Products
Limits search results to products only, giving customers a fast and focused shopping experience.
Choose this if your site is product-heavy and you don’t need to surface blog or page content.
