What is Search Linking?

The Search Linking feature allows you to specify defined "search terms" that will appear in the search bar of your store and link that result to defined content (page URL /

custom page content)


Example...

In this example, the defined search terms are "Nettailer" and "Netset"

When a user searches for these words, it will bring up the defined results in the search bar, linking the user to the predefined content (in this case, a list of distributors available in the store)

Clicking on the result will direct the user to the defined content that has been set up

You can use this to create powerful content for your users to see, as shown in the below example:

Search terms are defined as "iPad, iPad mini, iPad Pro and iPad Air."


Searching for these terms will bring up the search link for an iPad range and links the customer to specially designed content:
