A DEEPER LOOK

  • AI Mode: With AI Mode, shoppers describe what they want, refine as they go, and compare options the same way they’d talk to someone who knows your catalogue inside out.
  • AI Related Tags: Type a couple of words and AI Related Tags appear instantly as clickable refinements that take shoppers straight to what they’re looking for.
  • AI Carousels: When a search returns no results, an AI Carousel activates automatically to surface products that match what your shopper means, not just what they typed. No setup and no dead-ends.
  • Questions AI: When a search comes up short, Questions AI surfaces smart refinements right alongside results, nudging shoppers toward the products they’re actually looking for.
  • Content search in AI Mode: Upload content so AI Mode finds answers in your content, not just your products. No AI hallucinations for better peace of mind and control.
  • Backroom: Real-time clicks and add-to-cart data with Backroom, mapped directly onto your catalogue. Boost a bestseller. Bury a dud. No dashboard. No second tab. Just search, see, decide. Mobile friendly analytics and quick actions.
  • Backroom AI Chat Type what you want to know – “what are my shoppers not finding?” “what’s my worst-performing search this week?” – and get the answer with Backroom’s AI Chat. No reports. No guesswork. Just the insight, when you need it.
  • Better analytics: When logged in to Backroom, your own searches aren’t counted in your analytics and you don’t accidentally pay for the searches you make in your own catalogue.
  • Intuitive Filters: Let shoppers narrow results instantly by price, size, colour, brand and more. As part of Motive’s advanced search plugin, these dynamic filters integrate seamlessly into your ecommerce search bar experience.
  • Popular Products: Show best-selling and trending items the moment a shopper clicks your ecommerce search bar. This feature automatically surfaces high-demand products or lets you handpick and promote specific items to suit your marketing campaigns and boost conversions.
  • Promotional Banners: Show targeted banners and special offers right within search results. This feature turns your ecommerce search solution into a powerful upsell and cross-sell engine, driving more revenue per visit.
  • Instant Results: Show product matches from the very first keystroke to keep shoppers engaged, increase add to carts, and reduce bounce rates.
  • Look and feel Customisable layouts, colors, and typography to match your brand. Motive’s ecommerce search bar combines form and function with a sleek, intuitive interface that enhances the shopping journey.
  • Boost and Bury products Set the rules that decide how search results are displayed to your shoppers. Boost or bury products, categories, or brands—either across all searches or for specific queries—and even tailor rules for different languages.
  • Visual Customisations Display your brand identity across the whole search layer adding your font, colours, logo and more. Change the layout of search results, image fit, image size and more at the click of a button.
  • Customisable filters Choose which product attributes shoppers can filter by – size, color, price, brand, and more – and control the display order of filters and their values.
  • Synonyms Boost findability by managing custom synonyms and term mappings. The Synonyms tool in our advanced ecommerce search solution ensures shoppers locate products effortlessly – even when they use different terminology.
  • Custom CSS Apply bespoke styles with direct Custom CSS injection. This powerful feature offers designers and developers full control to perfect every detail of your ecommerce search interface.
  • Redirections Shoppers often search for terms like Help, Returns or Shop Locations. With Redirections, easily send your customers to non-product pages from your search.
  • Mobile version included Shoppers can search on any device without you paying more. Included in all plans.

FULLY TRANSPARENT WITH NO SURPRISES

  • One flat rate with no hidden extras: Choose the pricing plan that matches your shop’s size, goals and needs.
  • Full access to all features: No matter what plan you select, you’ll have access to all features, with upgrades and support included.
  • Search that’s priced by… searches! Don’t be stung by a provider that charges by requests. With Motive Commerce Search, you pay by what matters most to your and your shoppers: searching and finding.
  • Dedicated customer support: A team of real people to help you with any questions you may have.
  • Search that’s never switched off: Motive Commerce Search will never switch off your service, even if your shop outperforms the plan you’ve purchased.

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

“Motive always came recommended by the different communities we enquired through. We trialed a few other providers before switching, however they were under-featured, clunky and over-priced. When we trialed Motive the on-boarding was the smoothest I’d ever seen and we were able to get a workable search implementation almost instantly – it just worked and most importantly our customers loved it.” JH – United Kingdom on Trustpilot

“I totally recommend this smart search engine solution to anyone running an online store. It’s reliable, fast, super easy to use, and cheaper than the other options out there. Plus, their customer support team is awesome. Really professional and helpful. That makes all the difference!” – Global Neoprene – France on Trustpilot

“The integration was surprisingly quick and easy, working seamlessly with WooCommerce. What really impressed us was how customizable the search tool is – it blended in so well with our website’s design that it felt like a built-in feature, keeping everything looking consistent without sacrificing any functionality. Our experience with Motive eCommerce Search and the team behind it has been incredibly positive, directly improving navigation and customer satisfaction in our stores.” – Victor – Spain on Trustpilot

Muy buen buscador y grandes profesionales detrás que te ayudan en todo. Yo estoy encantada, puedes analizar las búsquedas que has tenido con y sin resultado y te da muchas opciones para dirigir las búsquedas que hace el cliente.

We all know that the native search experience for WooCommerce should be better (to put it kindly 🤗), although we also know how important it is for an online store. Fortunately this service has achieved a high quality and effortless integration for the user. You activate the plugin, put your API key (it is a paid service, you know) and they take care of indexing all the content of your store. I have to admit that before starting the free trial period I was skeptical (my site is made with a custom theme), but in a few minutes the plugin manages to perfectly index the content of your store, including attributes, tags and categories. Thanks to the stats panel you get valuable information about the searches in your online store and you can also customize the behavior of the results from the user area in Motive. If your store really requires continuous searches or has a lot of products, it is a highly recommended tool that is worth the cost.
