AI semantic search understands the meaning and intent behind search queries, not just exact keyword matches. It uses embeddings to find products based on context, synonyms, and natural language queries.

Question 12

What is Greeklish support?

Greeklish is Greek written with Latin characters (e.g., 'tsanta' instead of 'τσάντα'). SearchX natively understands Greeklish queries and returns accurate Greek product results. About 40% of Greek users search in Greeklish.

Question 13

Accepted Answer

SearchX tracks search queries, click-through rates, zero-result searches, conversion metrics, popular products, trending searches, and search performance over time. All data is GDPR-compliant.

Question 16

Does SearchX support autocomplete?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Real-time autocomplete with product previews, images, and prices appears as customers type. This increases conversions by up to 24%.

Question 17

Can I define custom synonyms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can create synonym groups so that searches for 'laptop', 'notebook', and 'λάπτοπ' return the same results. This is managed from your dashboard.

Question 18

Does SearchX support multiple languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SearchX supports English, Greek (including Greeklish), and other languages. The search interface can be translated to any language you need.

Question 19

What are smart filters?

Accepted Answer

Smart filters are automatically generated from your product catalog (size, color, brand, price, category). They update dynamically based on search results and allow customers to refine without page reloads.

Question 20

Can I exclude products from search results?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can exclude specific products, categories, or out-of-stock items from appearing in search results using filters in your dashboard.
