Search grid mode

Search grid mode is the traditional product-results option inside the Search page section. It displays product results in a responsive grid with configurable columns, filtering, sorting, and product-card blocks.

Shopify theme editor showing the Search page section with Search grid mode selected and product-grid controls visible.
Search grid mode changes the /search page to a product grid while the drawer keeps the Search mode experience.

Configure the Section

This section is used on the Search template. It is already included by default.

  1. Navigate to the Search page in the theme editor.
  2. Click the Search page section to configure it.
  3. Set Search page mode to Search grid when you want the grid experience on /search.

The search drawer keeps the chat-style predictive interface. Search grid mode only affects the search page itself.
