# Shopify Search & Discovery app

Use the Shopify Search & Discovery app to tailor your store’s filters, search results, and product recommendations. This gives you greater control over how shoppers explore and discover your products.

# Check if your theme supports filtering

Filters require an Online Store 2.0 theme. To confirm support:

You can still create filters, but they won’t appear on the storefront unless the theme is compatible.
In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Navigation.
- Look for the Collection and search filters section.
- If your theme doesn’t support filtering, you’ll see a notice.

# Display filters

Themes will provide a section setting to allow you to turn filtering on and off for your online store.

For Shopify-developed themes, you can find this setting in the Product grid section of collection pages.

After the customer selects a filter option, the resulting list of filtered products will automatically update to display products that match the customer’s criteria.
