Search vs Lantern

Shoppers who search usually know what they want - QuickSearch helps them find it. It replaces your store's default search with a fast AI product search bar that shows results instantly as visitors type, even when the query has a typo. Results appear in a dropdown with product images, names, prices, and sale badges, so shoppers can browse without leaving the page. A suggestions panel highlights popular searches to help visitors explore more of your catalog. Match the search box to your brand with adjustable colors, font, and width. Add it as a drop-in widget - no code or setup required. Your search index updates automatically as your catalog changes, including new arrivals, price updates, and removed items, so search results stay accurate without manual work. Whether you need an instant site search for a handful of products or a smarter store search engine for a few thousand, QuickSearch scales with you. Free to start, upgrade as your store grows.

Lantern adds a fast product search box to your site. Visitors type, and matching products appear straight away in a dropdown beneath the search field, with no extra pages to click through and no popup to dismiss. The difference is what happens when your catalogue changes. Lantern keeps no copy of your products, so there is no index to rebuild and nothing to fall out of date. Add a product, rename one, change a price, and your very next search reflects it. You never have to re-index, and you never have to ask support why a new product isn't showing up. Shoppers rarely type things exactly right, so near-misses work too. A search for "jaket" still finds your jackets. Results match on names and descriptions, so people find things by what they are as well as what they're called. Setup takes a minute. Drop the search box onto any page, choose your placeholder text and how many results to show, and it works with the products already in your store. It inherits your site's look through a few styling options rather than forcing its own design onto your pages. It supports both the current and legacy store catalogues, so it behaves the same whether your shop is new or years old.
