Pinpoint Site Search

One instant search box for your pages, products, blog posts, services and events. Works in Harmony, Studio and the classic editor.

Pinpoint adds a search box to your site. Visitors see results while they type, grouped as pages, products, blog posts, services and events, and small typos are forgiven ("cinamon" finds "cinnamon").

Set it up

1. Install the app. Its page opens in your dashboard under Apps > Site Search and builds the search index right away. This takes a few seconds to a minute.
2. Open your site in the editor, open Add Elements, find Site Search under your apps and drag the Search Box into your header or onto any page. (If you installed from the editor, the box is already on your home page.)
3. Select the box and click Settings to change the placeholder text, the accent color, how many results show and whether images show.
4. Publish your site.

Keep the index up to date

• The index refreshes by itself when you open Site Search in your dashboard and it is more than 12 hours old.
• After you publish new pages, products, posts, services or events, click Rebuild index to make them searchable right away.
• Use the switches under What is searchable to leave out a whole type, for example services.
• Pages are read from your published site's sitemap. Pages hidden from search engines do not appear. Dynamic (CMS) pages appear when they are in your sitemap.

Pro plan

• Bigger index: up to 10,000 items (Free: 100).
• What visitors search for: the most common searches and the searches that found nothing, for the last 30 days. Add the missing content or a synonym for those.
• Synonyms: one line per group, for example kanelbulle = cinnamon bun, cinnamon roll.
• Pinned results: show a chosen page first for an exact phrase, for example "christmas" shows your Christmas menu first.
• Ask the AI assistant in your dashboard "what did people search for and not find?" or "is my site search up to date?".

Questions

• Results appear only on the published site. In the editor preview the box shows a note instead.
• A product does not show up. Check that it is visible in your store, then click Rebuild index. On the Free plan, items past the first 100 are left out; pages come first.
• Remove the app: the index, settings and search log are deleted with it.
