AI Smart Search for Shopware 6

The AI search bar that finally lets your customers find what they're looking for

No more empty results just because a customer types "red running shoes for winter" instead of "running sneaker". AI Smart Search understands what your visitors mean — and instantly surfaces the matching products from your shop.

How it works

As the customer types, an AI refines the query into clean, on-target search words — which then run through Shopware's own native search. The AI doesn't replace your search, it just makes it smarter: ranking, language, visibility and availability stay exactly as you configured them.

Customer types → AI cleans the query → Shopware search → instant results

The AI automatically detects intent: product search (products, categories, manufacturers), page navigation (Contact, Imprint, About …), or a short answer to general questions.

Your benefits

• More conversions — customers find products even with vague, colloquial or misspelled input.
• Less "no results" frustration — the AI translates everyday language into your product terms.
• Live dropdown with instant suggestions while typing.
• 100% Shopware-compliant — no raw SQL, everything runs through Shopware's DAL and native search.
• Provider of your choice — OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, local models or n8n. Switch with a click, no code.
• Privacy-friendly option — with local models, no data ever leaves your premises.
• Secure by design — page links are validated server-side against real, published pages.

Configuration without code

Everything conveniently in the admin under Extensions → AI Smart Search → Configure:

• Provider, API key & model freely selectable
• Result mode: dropdown, redirect to the search page, or both
