How it sells itself

Search-AI enhances your store’s search experience by using artificial intelligence to understand how customers naturally describe what they want. Instead of relying on exact keywords, it interprets real-world language and intent to deliver more accurate product results. This helps shoppers find items faster and improves overall satisfaction.

Let customers search your catalog the way they use AI every day: with plain language and photos. CentSearch improves product discovery and boosts conversion by helping shoppers find exactly what they mean. Handle vague intent, complex constraints, and image search. The App also provides unlimited typo-tolerant keyword search that users are familiar with, along with out-of-the-box filters.

Key points
  • AI-powered search that understands natural language queries.
  • Delivers faster, more accurate product results instantly.
  • Seamless setup with automatic catalog integration.
  • AI Mode search for your catalog — turns natural language into precise matches
  • Intelligent image + text search — find products by photo, description, or both
  • Unlimited keyword search with typo tolerance — the familiar experience
  • Unlimited filters — price bar, attributes, vendors, and more

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
