At Recombee, we don't just excel at recommendations – we provide powerful full-text search capabilities too. Our Quick, No-Code Search Widget exemplifies this, offering a seamless, customizable search experience that's quick to integrate and enhances the utility of our recommendation engine.

Our Search Engine

Recombee's search is fully personalized, taking into account both the user's query and their interactions. This ensures that users receive highly relevant results, allowing them to quickly find exactly what they’re looking for.

When two users type the same query, they won't necessarily see the same results. For instance, after typing “Ha,” User A might see “Hannibal” first if they tend to watch thrillers while User B might see “Harry Potter” if they prefer fantasy. Additionally, our search supports multiple languages and is typo-tolerant, so even if users misspell a director's name, their movies will still appear.

Let's explore the key benefits and functionalities of our no-code search widget feature.

Customizable Search Experience

The Quick Search Widget is a user interface element designed to provide a customizable search experience. It allows you to tailor the search functionality to your specific needs and is fully configurable in the Admin UI.

It supports multiple sections – Items, Hero, and Segments – each connected to specific recommendation scenarios. You can easily rearrange these sections using a drag-and-drop interface:

1. Items Section: Displays found items, customizable to show images, titles, subtitles, and highlighted information like prices.
2. Hero Section: Optionally highlights the top item, making it stand out.
3. Segments Section: Optionally shows matching Item Segments (categories, genres, vendors), allowing users to navigate directly to relevant pages.

Leverage Your Existing Data

For customers already using Recombee's recommendation solution for product and content recommendations, transitioning to the no-code Quick Search Widget is effortless. The widget automatically uses existing catalog and user data, eliminating the need to send new datasets. This integration maximizes the value of your data, delivering accurate and relevant search results to users from the start.

Effortless No-Code Search Integration

Integrating our Quick Search Widget couldn’t be simpler. With just a few clicks in the Admin panel, followed by copying and pasting an embed code, you can add robust, no-code search functionality to your platform. This ease of integration makes it accessible, even for those with minimal technical expertise.

Fine-Tune Visual Appearance

We understand that maintaining a consistent brand appearance is crucial. The Quick Search Widget allows for extensive visual customization through CSS. You can adjust the widget's appearance to align perfectly with your site's design, ensuring a seamless user experience.
