Navigation & search

Plan navigation and search for your Core Shopify store, from department menus and collections to product filters and predictive search.

Core combines visual navigation, predictive search and collection filters. Each has a different job: navigation shows the store’s structure, search finds a known item and filters narrow a group of products.

In this category

Product discovery covers mega menus, search suggestions, collection filters and recently viewed products, with screenshots from the Core demo.

Prepare your content

  • Group related collections under a short, descriptive department name.
  • Give products names that make sense outside their collection.
  • Keep variant and filter labels consistent across the catalog.
  • Check both the first visit and the return journey to a previously viewed item.
