Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSearch-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.
Your customers don't search like a database. They ask for "something warm for a winter trip under 120" and a keyword search returns nothing, because no product is titled that way. Tafuta reads the intent behind the sentence and answers from your live catalogue. Nothing is imported or synced. Add the search bar to any section from your theme editor.
- AI-powered search that understands natural language queries.
- Delivers faster, more accurate product results instantly.
- Seamless setup with automatic catalog integration.
- Understands sentences, not keywords: colour, style, price and stock
- Reads your live catalogue, so prices and stock are never out of date
- Added from the theme editor as an app block, with no code to write

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.
