Find anything in milliseconds β€” no backend call required.

Mika Store's omni-search downloads your entire catalogue index once on the shopper's first visit, then runs all filtering locally in the browser. The result is instant, zero-latency search-as-you-type with no server round-trips. It also works offline once cached, survives server maintenance windows and scales infinitely without adding load.

βœ“This feature is included on every Mika Store plan β€” Basic, Growth and Advanced.

14-day free trial β€” no charge until day 15

When to use this

Is this right for your store?

Essential for any store with more than 30 products. Shoppers who can't immediately find what they want don't browse β€” they leave. The filter panel is particularly valuable in catalogues with meaningful attribute differences (size, material, price range) where category browsing alone is too blunt.

How to set it up

Step-by-step guide

1

Search is enabled by default β€” no configuration required to activate it

2

3

Publish your store β€” the search index is generated and uploaded to CDN automatically at publish time

4

The search bar appears in your store header and is accessible from every page

5

Optional: configure which attributes are shown as filter facets in Dashboard β†’ Catalogue β†’ Search settings


In practice

Real-world examples

Hardware supplier with 3,000 SKUs

A tradie types 'M10 bolt grade 8.8' into search and gets results within milliseconds, filtered to the right category. Without search, they'd have to navigate Fixings > Bolts > Metric > High-Tensile β€” a journey that costs conversions.

Fashion boutique with filter discovery

A shopper arrives without a specific product in mind. They open the filter panel, select Price: $50–$120, Colour: Blue, Size: 10. The catalogue reduces from 400 items to 12 relevant ones β€” discovery made effortless.


Pro tips

Get the most out of it

πŸ’‘

Write product names the way your customers search, not the way your supplier codes them. 'Stanley 20V Cordless Drill' beats 'FMC609B-B2 DRL KIT'.

πŸ’‘

Include common synonyms in the product description β€” 'tap washer' and 'faucet washer' mean the same thing; a buyer might search either.

πŸ’‘

Re-publish your store after bulk product updates to rebuild the search index β€” it won't update automatically on draft saves.
