Overlay vs page
Two surfaces for search — quick overlay and full results page.
Updated 2026-05-09
Dost has both a search overlay (modal triggered from the header) and a full search results page (/search).
Overlay
Click the search icon in the header → overlay slides down with:
- Big input
- Predictive results (products + collections + articles + pages, configurable)
- Trending search terms (configurable)
- Empty state with featured products / popular collections
Full page
When the customer presses Enter (or clicks "View all results"), they navigate to /search?q=... which renders:
- Search results header (count + filter sidebar)
- Filterable + sortable result grid
- Same pagination modes as collection pages
Behavior
- Both surfaces respect the same Theme settings → Search → resource-type toggles (products, collections, articles, pages)
- Both use Shopify's predictive-search engine — same fuzzy + prefix matching
