# SimplifySearch documentation

Documentation for SimplifySearch, currently in design.

SimplifySearch is in design. This page exists so the documentation URL is stable from day one — bookmark it and it will fill in rather than move.

## What it will cover

-   **Installation and indexing** — what the first pass reads, how long it takes on a large catalogue, and how the old search keeps serving until you switch.
-   **The attribute layer** — what is extracted from titles, descriptions, categories, tags, variations and images; how variations are handled; and how to correct an attribute so the correction sticks.
-   **The readability score** — what is missing, on which products, weighted by the traffic those products get.
-   **Natural-language queries** — how a sentence resolves to attributes, and what happens when it cannot.
-   **Guided prompts** — turning a vague query into a specific one, and the points at which a prompt is offered.
-   **Filters and facets** — how they are generated per category, and what you can pin, hide or reorder.
-   **Merchandising** — pinning, boosting and burying per query or store-wide; ranking on margin, on stock cover, or both; and reading the numbers from SimplifyStock when it is installed.
-   **The query report** — top terms, zero-result terms, terms that return results nobody clicks, demand for products you do not stock, and search-attributed revenue.
-   **Theme integration** — replacing the built-in search box and shop filters without touching template files.
-   **Data and keys** — what is processed to build the attribute layer, and how to run it on your own provider key.

## Shaping it

The question we keep going back and forth on is how much correction a merchant should have to do before the attribute layer is trustworthy — and how to make one correction teach the pattern rather than fix a single product.

If you run a WooCommerce store where search is quietly costing you orders, tell us what people type and what they get.
