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 "Distribution" "Dist" and "Disty"
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 link the user to the defined content that has been set up
