Fast Simon
Fast Simon is a powerful search and product discovery solution that enhances how customers browse and find items in your app. With fast results, smart filters, and real-time suggestions, Fast Simon helps your shoppers quickly discover the right products — even across large catalogs. Unlike Shopify's built-in search, Fast Simon brings advanced filtering, personalized results, and fast search performance by using their external engine and CDN (Content Delivery Network). This can be especially useful for merchants with large inventories or complex filtering needs. Please note: Fast Simon is not available for self-serve setup inside the Studio dashboard. It requires developer assistance for initial setup and configuration. Use Cases Here are common ways merchants use Fast Simon to improve their storefront: 1. Smarter Search Results Customers can search by product names, categories, or even vague terms. Fast Simon displays relevant results instantly, even as users type. 2. Filter by What Matters Merchants can offer filters like brand, size, price range, category, or custom options. This helps customers narrow down results quickly. 3. Collection-Based Browsing Products in specific categories (like "New Arrivals" or "Organic Skincare") can be browsed with customized sorting and filters. 4. Predictive Suggestions As shoppers type, Fast Simon offers suggestions based on common searches, trending products, and more — helping customers get to products faster. 5. Improved Performance for Large Catalogs For merchants with thousands of products, Fast Simon ensures quick loading and searching by using a fast backend and CDN.
