Meaning Match help
Meaning Match is a Shopify app from Jeffers-Seven Labs. It improves your online store's search so shoppers find products by what they mean, not only by the exact words in your product titles. For example, a search for "couch" can find a product called "linen sofa".

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to edit my theme code?
No. Meaning Match is added with the Header search app embed. You turn it on or off in the theme editor under App embeds.
Which themes does it work with?
Meaning Match is built for the search in Shopify's Horizon and Dawn themes, and themes based on them. In other themes, your theme's own search keeps working as before. If search doesn't look right in your theme, email us with your theme name.
What do shoppers see?
As shoppers type in the header search, Meaning Match shows the products closest in meaning, with images and prices from your store. Shoppers can use the arrow keys to move through results and Enter to open one. Pressing Enter without choosing a result opens your theme's search results page, where Meaning Match adds related products your theme's search missed.
What happens if Meaning Match can't answer?
Your theme's own search takes over. If your products aren't synced yet, if no product is close in meaning, or if Meaning Match doesn't respond quickly, shoppers see your theme's standard search results instead. Search never stops working because of Meaning Match.
Which products can shoppers find?
Active products that are published to your online store. Sold-out products are hidden. Meaning Match uses each product's title, product type, and description.
How do new or changed products get added?
Automatically. When you add, edit, unpublish, or delete a product in Shopify, Meaning Match updates within moments. If results ever look out of date, select Sync products in the app. Large catalogs sync in the background, and the app shows the progress.
Can I change what shows on the search results page?
Yes. In the theme editor, open App embeds, then Header search. You can turn off related products on the search results page or change their heading.
Which languages are supported?
Meaning Match is designed for English product titles, descriptions, and searches.
How do I turn it off?
In the theme editor, turn off Header search under App embeds and select Save. Your theme's standard search comes back right away.
What happens if I uninstall?
Shopify removes the app embed from your theme automatically, the subscription stops, and Meaning Match deletes its copy of your product data.
How much does it cost?
Meaning Match is $7.99 USD every 30 days after a 30-day free trial, billed through Shopify. Development stores are not charged.
Does Meaning Match store customer data?
No. Meaning Match doesn't read customer records or orders, and it doesn't store shoppers' search words. See the privacy policy at https://meaning-match-rank.fly.dev/privacy for details.
