Search Results for B2C Commerce

Search Results are the items returned when a customer searches within the storefront.

• Searchandising - Availability Ranking
  Availability Ranking describes an approach of merchandising in B2C Commerce using the functionality and power of an online product search, expanding the online merchandising activities of merchants to one of the most important tools in an online shop today, the product search. You can use availability ranking to manipulate the search results of a customer query to reflect what you want to highlight. For example, you might want to promote in-stock products, and push products with low stock levels to the end of the search results.
• Exclude Unavailable Products from Search Results
  Use the B2C Commerce Search module to exclude unavailable products from search results in the storefront at the site level and at the product level. This avoids showing customers products they can't purchase.
• Variation Product Display
  With B2C Commerce, you control how different variations of a product appear in the search results and category pages. You can show variations as separate products or as a single product, by creating variation groups or slicing. For example, if you want to show results for every color of a sweater, you can make color a slicing attribute. If you don’t, then only one sweater appears in the search results and you must show the color options on the product details page.
