Overview

Products available in PIM can be accessed through the Product Search. There are three ways to search for products on this page:

• Simple Search
• Faceted Search
• Filtered Query

Once search is initiated, the results are listed in the search results table.

ℹ️ The search is performed and search results are displayed in the Content Language.

See the Product Editor page for more info on the product information management.

Simple Search

In the simple search field, you can perform a full-text search by:

Product ID, Variant ID, Manufacturer Product ID Short and long description (including variant descriptions) Manufacturer name and Manufacturer ID

✅ All systems are operational.

Keywords

✅ You can use asterisk (*) to re one or more non-space characters in your search query, e.g. if you search for ' ip*d', both iPod and iPad will be found.

earch Query	Search Result
”asus”	Products which contain “asus”
ower and upper case letters, e.g. “ASUS” or “asus”	Products which contain “asus”. The results will be the same
”apple ipad”	Products which contain the words “apple”, “ipad”

Enter your query into the search field and click ‘Search’ to initiate the product search (or press Enter on your keyboard).

✅ You can also make a single-line search query for multiple products. For example, you can search for a number of Product IDs/Variant IDs separated by comma, space or other special characters not used in IDs and descriptions. Example: The search by " 5658741 AWF1549 1686B021" gives you the list of products that have " 5658741", "AWF1549" or/and "1686B021" in their Product IDs, descriptions, etc.
