Keyword search allows users to find specific listings by entering relevant words or phrases and returning listings matching those terms.

Keyword search is enabled at Console > Build > Listings > Listing search.

How are search results found and sorted

Listings are sorted by their relevance to the search term. Keywords matched in the Listing title will be more relevant than in the Listing description. Keywords matched in the description are more relevant than matches in listing fields. Full word matches are considered more relevant than partial matches. Characters with accents and other diacritical marks get converted into characters without accents or marks.

Using custom listing fields in keyword search

By default, only the title and description are indexed for keyword search. You can choose to index Free text custom listing fields as well.

Enabling keyword search and location search

If your marketplace uses the location search, you can choose to display a "keyword" filter on your marketplace search page.
