How do I change what search finds?Copy Anchor Link

Search is controlled by Shopify, not by Borders. Install the Shopify Search & Discovery app to set synonyms, boost products and choose the result types. In Borders, Theme settings → Predictive search adds SKU, barcode and tag to what the drawer looks through.

Why are sold-out products shown in the search results?Copy Anchor Link

Shopify decides how out-of-stock products appear in search. In the Search & Discovery app, open Settings and change how out-of-stock products are ordered.
