Site search

Meaning in e-commerce, with examples

nounCommon term

In e-commerce, site search means: The search box inside an online store that lets shoppers find products by typing words, and the system that decides which results to show.

In Turkish: site içi arama, mağaza içi arama

How it is used

Used by e-commerce and product teams. Shoppers who use site search often buy more, so teams study search terms, fix 'no results' pages and add synonyms and spelling corrections. Also called on-site search or internal search.

Example sentences

  1. Site search shows nothing for 'tisort' because customers type it without the Turkish letter.

  2. Visitors who use site search convert about twice as often as other visitors.
