# Search Page Widget

## ✅ What this widget does

Use the **Search Page Widget** to show recommended products on your store’s **search results page**. It helps shoppers discover items even when their search doesn’t match perfectly (or when you want to promote specific products).

**5. Choose Recommended Products**

This section controls what products appear inside the Search Page Widget.

You can pick one option:

* **Specific products** – manually choose exact products to show
* **Specific product variants** – recommend specific variants
* **Specific Collection** – show items from one collection
* **Specific Product Type** – show items from a product type (e.g., “Shoes”)
* **Specific tags** – show items that share a tag (e.g., “gift”, “new”)
* **Specific Product vendor** – show items from a vendor/brand
* **The best selling products** – show top sellers
* **The latest products** – show newest items
* **Recently purchased products** – show items bought recently
* **Recently viewed products** – show items shoppers viewed recently

**Tip:** For Search pages, **Best selling** or **Latest products** usually works well because it doesn’t depend on the customer’s previous browsing.

Example:&#x20;

* Shopper searches for: **“ring”**
* Search results show your ring products
* Under (or near) the results, the widget shows all products with tag "Rings"

6. Click Save
