AI-powered ecommerce search that helps more searches end in a sale

Combine keyword and vector search, personalization, merchandising, and AI assistance to help shoppers find what they want faster and grow your revenue.

What Commerce Search does

Everything between a search and the right product

Nosto ecommerce search understands every kind of query, adapts to each shopper, follows your merchandising strategy, and gives extra help to shoppers who want it.

01

Relevant results for exact
terms and everyday language

Keyword matching connects queries with your catalog data. For less explicit searches, Hybrid Vector Search adds meaning and similarity to match queries worded differently from your catalog.

02

Products that match
shoppers' preferences

Results adapt to each shopper's behavior and affinities, and you can tailor them to customer segments such as lifecycle stage or traffic source.

03

Rankings shaped by
your business priorities

Pin, promote, or demote products based on margin, inventory, campaigns, or performance to support your commercial goals, from launching a collection to moving stock.

04 Coming soon

AI assistance that helps
shoppers refine their search

AI assistance recognizes attributes in the query and automatically applies available filters, asks useful follow-up questions, and summarizes why the selected products fit.

05 Early Access

A conversation for shoppers
who want more guidance

Shoppers can ask questions from the search results and continue in AI Mode, a conversation with Discovery Agent* for advice throughout product discovery.

Personalized Search

Relevant, personalized search your merchandisers can steer

Personalized Search returns fast, accurate results for the brands, products, and terms shoppers type, ranks them for each shopper in real time, and lets your team shape the order with merchandising rules, A/B tests, and analytics.

Precise.

Shoppers who type a specific product name, model, or SKU land on that exact item, ready to add to cart.

Personal.

Each shopper sees the products most likely to interest them, without extra filtering.

In your control.

Set your priorities once and rankings follow them automatically, with less manual merchandising.

AI SEARCH

Search that understands any query and assists shoppers

An additional module that complements Personalized Search, built for the new ways shoppers search. Vector technology understands any query, and AI assistance helps shoppers refine their results.

Intent-aware.

Shoppers can search with context, concepts, or pop culture references and still find products that fit, instead of hitting a dead end.

Agentic.

Search steps in proactively to narrow the results with shoppers, so they spend less time adjusting filters and scrolling to find a fit.

Conversational.

Your search can include a bridge to AI Mode, where Discovery Agent guides shoppers through conversational product discovery.
