Search Result

All Contributors

VTEX Search Result app is responsible for handling the result fetched by the VTEX Search API and displaying it to users.

The app therefore exports all store blocks expected in a search results page, such as the filters and the product gallery.

search-result

Configuration

Step 1 - Adding the Search Result app to your theme's dependencies

In your theme's manifest.json, add the Search Result app as a dependency:

  "dependencies": {
    "vtex.search-result": "3.x"
  }

Now, you are able to use all the blocks exported by the search-result app. Check out the full list below:

Block name Description
search-result-layout https://img.shields.io/badge/-Mandatory-red Layout block that enables you to build the search result page using its 3 children blocks: search-result-layout.desktop, search-result-layout.mobile and search-not-found-layout . It must be used in the store.search template since it uses the context provided by the VTEX Search API.
search-result-layout.customQuery https://img.shields.io/badge/-Mandatory-red Used instead of search-result-layout in scenarios in which the search result will be declared in a template that doesn't fetch Search context, such as Home. It accepts a querySchema prop that executes search custom queries. It also supports three children blocks: search-result-layout.desktop, search-result-layout.mobile and search-not-found-layout .
search-result-layout.desktop https://img.shields.io/badge/-Mandatory-red Builds the search result page structure for desktop mode.
search-result-layout.mobile Builds the search result page structure for mobile mode. If the search-result-layout.mobile is not provided, the search-result-layout.desktop will be used instead.
search-layout-switcher Enables mobile users to switch between the available layout modes.
search-not-found-layout Builds the whole search result page structure for scenarios in which no result was fetched. It is rendered whenever users search for a term that doesn't return a product.
gallery https://img.shields.io/badge/-Mandatory-red Displays the gallery with all the products found in the search.
not-found Block containing a text and a description for the page that was not found in the search. It must be declared as a child of search-not-found-layout.
search-content https://img.shields.io/badge/-Mandatory-red Decides, behind the scenes, which block will be displayed: either the gallery block (if products are found) or the not-found block (if the selected filters lead to an empty search results page). This means that both gallery and not-found must be declared as search-content children.
store.not-found#search When configured, it displays a 404 error message whenever the server is not able to return what the browser request was or when it is configured to not handle that request.
search-products-count-per-page Displays the total number of products being displayed in the search results page.
search-products-progress-bar Displays a progress bar of products being displayed in the search results page.
order-by.v2 Allows users to choose the product ordination in the search results page.
filter-navigator.v3 Allows users to apply different filters to the search. On mobile, renders a button that, when clicked on, displays all available filters in a sidebar.
total-products.v2 Displays the total amount of products found for that search.
search-title.v2 Displays a title for the search that was done.
search-fetch-more Displays the "Show More" button. This button isn't rendered when the user is on the last page.
search-fetch-previous Displays the "Show Previous" button. This button isn't rendered when the user is on the first page.
search-products-count-per-page Displays the quantity of products currently on the page.
sidebar-close-button Displays an X button on the filter sidebar on mobile.
search-title.v2 Displays a title for the search that was done.

ℹ️ The Search Result app data may be displayed on search pages (store.search) or any other desired page. When added to the search page, the block that is used must be the search-result-layout, since it fetches data provided by the template's current search context. If you want to add the app to another page, the block that must be used is the search-result-layout.customQuery.

Step 2 - Adding the Search Result to page templates

According to the desired store page, add the search-result-layout block or the search-result-layout.customQuery to the correct template blocks list. For example:

"store.search": {
  "blocks": ["search-result-layout"]
} 

or

 "store.home": {
   "blocks": [
     "carousel#home",
     "shelf#home",
+    "search-result-layout.customQuery#home"
   ]
 }

Now, before declaring all desired blocks for your search result layout, your first need to define how you want the search results to be fetched.

⚠️ Remember: on the home page, you define these results through a custom query. On the search template, you just need to use the already provided context.

Step 3 - Defining how the search query data should be fetched

According to your store's scenario, define how the search query data should be fetched using props.

If you are using a search-result-layout, the blocks will define the data that is fetched from the context. If what you are using is a search-result-layout.customQuery, the props should be sent through the querySchema to configure the custom query.

For example:

{
  "store.search": {
    "blocks": ["search-result-layout"],
    "props": {
      "context": {
        "skusFilter": "FIRST_AVAILABLE",
        "simulationBehavior": "skip"
      }
    }
  }
}

or

{
  "store.home": {
    "blocks": [
      "carousel#home",
      "shelf#home",
      "search-result-layout.customQuery#home"
    ]
  },
  "search-result-layout.customQuery#home": {
    "props": {
      "querySchema": {
        "skusFilter": "FIRST_AVAILABLE",
        "simulationBehavior": "skip"
      }
    }
  }
}

⚠️ You must define the query for the following search pages: brand, department, category and subcategory. This will allow you to define custom behaviors for each of your store's possible search pages. For example:

{
  "store.search": {
    "blocks": ["search-result-layout"],
    "props": {
        "context": {
            "skusFilter": "FIRST_AVAILABLE",
            "simulationBehavior": "skip"
        }
     }
  },
 "store.search#category": {
    "blocks": ["search-result-layout"],
    "props": {
        "context": {
            "skusFilter": "FIRST_AVAILABLE",
            "simulationBehavior": "skip"
        }
     }
  },
  "store.search#brand": {
    "blocks": ["search-result-layout"],
    "props": {
        "context": {
            "skusFilter": "FIRST_AVAILABLE",
            "simulationBehavior": "skip"
        }
     }
  },
  "store.search#department": {
    "blocks": ["search-result-layout"],
    "props": {
        "context": {
            "skusFilter": "FIRST_AVAILABLE",
            "simulationBehavior": "skip"
        }
     }
  },
  "store.search#subcategory": {
    "blocks": ["search-result-layout"],
    "props": {
        "context": {
            "skusFilter": "FIRST_AVAILABLE",
            "simulationBehavior": "skip"
        }
     }
  }
}

Below you may find all available props to configure your search data (be it by using a context or a custom query through the querySchema block):

Prop name Type Description Default value
queryField string https://img.shields.io/badge/-Mandatory-red Search URL's query string to define which results should be fetched in the custom query. For example: Blue. Caution: this prop only works if the mapField prop is declared as well. undefined
mapField string https://img.shields.io/badge/-Mandatory-red Search URL's map parameter to define which results should be fetched in the custom query. For example: specificationFilter_100. Caution: this prop only works if the queryField prop is declared as well. undefined
maxItemsPerPage number Maximum number of items per search page. The maximum value of this prop is 50, if a larger number is passed, the query will fail. 10
orderByField enum Decides which order products must follow when displayed. The possible values are named after the order type: OrderByTopSaleDESC, OrderByReleaseDateDESC, OrderByBestDiscountDESC, OrderByPriceDESC, OrderByPriceASC, OrderByNameASC, OrderByNameDESC or OrderByScoreDESC (relevance score). ASC and DESC stand for ascending order and descending order, respectively. OrderByScoreDESC
hideUnavailableItems boolean Whether the search result should display unavailable items (true) or not (false). false
facetsBehavior string Defines the behavior filters will have. When set to dynamic, it restricts the results according to the filters that user have already selected. If set to Static, all filters will continue to be displayed to the user, even is no results exist. Static
skusFilter enum Controls SKUs returned for each product in the query. The less SKUs needed to be returned, the more performant your shelf query will be. Available value options: FIRST_AVAILABLE (returns only the first available SKU), ALL_AVAILABLE (only returns available SKUs) and ALL (returns all product's SKUs). ALL_AVAILABLE
simulationBehavior enum Defines whether the search data will be up-to-date (default) or fetched using the Cache (skip). The last option should be used only if you prefer faster queries over no having the most up-to-date prices or inventory. default
installmentCriteria enum Controls which price should be shown when there are different installments options for it. Possible values are: MAX_WITHOUT_INTEREST (displays the maximum installment option with no interest attached to it) or MAX_WITH_INTEREST (displays the maximum installment option whether it has interest attached to it or not). "MAX_WITHOUT_INTEREST"
excludedPaymentSystems [string] List of payment systems that should not be taken into account when displaying the installment options to users. Caution: this prop configuration only works in scenarios where the installmentCriteria prop was also declared. In case it was not, all available payment systems will be displayed regardless. undefined
includedPaymentSystems [string] List of payment systems that should be taken into account when displaying the installment options to users. Caution: this prop configuration only works in scenarios where the installmentCriteria prop was also declared. In case it was not, all available payment systems will be displayed regardless. undefined

Now it is time to structure the search-result-layout block (or the search-result-layout.customQuery). They both necessarily require a child: the search-result-layout.desktop. But you can also provide others, such as the search-result-layout.mobile and the search-not-found-layout.

Since these are layout blocks, you can use Flex Layout blocks to build your search results page.

Step 4 - Defining your search results page layouts and behavior

Structure the search-result-layout or the search-result-layout.customQuery, according to your store's scenario, by declaring their children and then configuring them using Flex Layout blocks and their props. For example:

{
  "search-result-layout": {
    "blocks": [
      "search-result-layout.desktop",
      "search-result-layout.mobile",
      "search-not-found-layout"
    ]
  },
  "search-result-layout.desktop": {
    "children": [
      "flex-layout.row#searchbread",
      "flex-layout.row#searchtitle",
      "flex-layout.row#result"
    ],
    "props": {
      "preventRouteChange": true
    }
  }
}

Available props for search-result-layout.desktop, search-result-layout.mobile and search-not-found-layout:

Prop name Type Description Default value
hiddenFacets Object Indicates which filters should be hidden. Possible props and their respective values can be found below. undefined.
showFacetQuantity boolean Whether the result amount in each filter should appear besides its name on the filter-navigator.v3 block as (true) or (false) false
blockClass string Unique block ID to be used in CSS customization undefined
trackingId string ID to be used in Google Analytics to track store metrics based on the Search Result block. Search result
mobileLayout Object Controls how the search results page will be displayed to users when using the mobile layout. Possible props and their respective values can be found below. undefined
thresholdForFacetSearch number Minimum number of facets that must be displayed on the interface for a search bar to be displayed. If you declare 0, the search bar will always be displayed. undefined
  • mobileLayout Object:
Prop name Type Description Default value
mode1 Enum Defines the default layout for the mobile search results page. Possible values are: normal, small or inline. normal
mode2 Enum Defines which layout will be set for the mobile search results page when users click on the layout selector button. Possible values also are: normal, small or inline. small
  • HiddenFacets Object:
Prop name Type Description Default value
brands boolean Whether Brand filters should be hidden (true) or not (false). false
categories boolean Whether Category filters should be hidden (true) or not (false). false
priceRange boolean Whether Price filters should be hidden (true) or not (false). false
specificationFilters Object Indicates which Specification filters should be hidden. undefined
  • SpecificationFilters Object:
Prop name Type Description Default value
hideAll boolean Whether specification filters should be hidden (true) or not (false). false
hiddenFilters [object] Object array of specification filters that should be hidden. undefined
  • HiddenFilters object
Prop name Type Description Default value
name string Name of the specification filter that you want to hide. undefined

Step 5 - Using the Flex Layout to build your search results page

From Flex Layout, you will build your search results page using the other blocks that were exported by the Search Result app, such as: gallery, filter-navigator.v3, etc.

Therefore, don't forget to check out the Flex Layout documentation for more on how to configure your search results page.

Below you can find the existing props for each of the blocks, in addition to the the rules that govern them.

  • gallery block

The gallery block does not have its own props, but it has its own inner block structure that must be configured using a product-summary-shelf.

This means that any gallery block implementation created must have a product-summary-shelf that in turn must also have its own inner block structure that can be configured.

Check out the Product Summary documentation.

  • filter-navigator.v3 block
Prop name Type Description Default value
layout Enum Whether the Filter Navigator layout should be responsive (responsive) or not (desktop). You may use desktop when the Filter Navigator was configured to be displayed in a drawer. responsive
maxItemsDepartment number Maximum number of departments to be displayed before the See More button is triggered. 8
maxItemsCategory number Maximum number of category items to be displayed before the See More button is triggered. 8
initiallyCollapsed Boolean Makes the search filters start out collapsed (true) or open (false). false
openFiltersMode Enum Defines how many filters can be opened at the same time on the Filter Navigator component. Possible values are: many (more than one filter can be opened at the same time) and one (only one filter can be opened). Notice that if one is declared all filters will be collapsed before user interaction, regardless of what is passed to the initiallyCollapsed prop. many
filtersTitleHtmlTag string HTML tag for the filter's title. h5
scrollToTop enum Scrolls the page to the top (auto or smooth) or not (none) when selecting a facet. none
truncateFilters boolean Whether a filter selector with more than 10 filter options should shorten the list and display a See more button (true) or not (false). false
  • order-by block
Prop name Type Description Default value
hiddenOptions [string] Indicates which sorting options will be hidden. (e.g. ["OrderByNameASC", "OrderByNameDESC"]) undefined
showOrderTitle boolean Whether the selected order value (e.g. Relevance) will be displayed (true) or not (false). true

The sorting options are:

Sort option Value
Relevance "OrderByScoreDESC"
Top Sales Descending "OrderByTopSaleDESC"
Release Date Descending "OrderByReleaseDateDESC"
Best Discount Descending "OrderByBestDiscountDESC"
Price Descending "OrderByPriceDESC"
Price Ascending "OrderByPriceASC"
Name Ascending "OrderByNameASC"
