Collection Search Page

Algolia for Shopify also ships with the possibility of enhancing your current collection pages with real-time search capabilities.

Collection search pages list products from a collection (they are normally found under the /collection/<collection-name> URL)

Not to be confused with Collection indexing, the Collection search page feature is about using InstantSearch on your store’s collection pages.

Autocomplete-Customizing the auto-completion menu

When you modify a collection, all the products that it contains are re-indexed.

Therefore, enabling this feature will increase the number of operations related to your Algolia account.

Please be sure that your plan is suitable for an increase of operations.

1. Products collections indexing
