Search by Depict is being folded into Depict: Search & Merchandising. If your store runs Search by Depict today, nothing changes for you: the app, its search modal and the settings on this page keep working. New stores get search from Depict: Search & Merchandising, where the same settings live under slightly different embed names. We will contact you before your store moves.
Depict ships two Shopify apps, both installed from the Shopify App Store:
- Search by Depict — semantic search that finds, guides, and converts. Its search modal and settings are documented in this section.
- Depict: Search & Merchandising — search and collection merchandising in one app, documented in its own section: Depict: Search & Merchandising, with search on its Search page.
- Install the app from the Shopify App Store — no theme code changes required.
- Add the search button to your theme so shoppers can open the search modal.
- Customize the search experience through the app embeds and block settings in the theme editor.
