Search

Our search system has 2 variants: Normal and Instant. Instant should be used when the user types into the search bar at the top of the page before they press enter. This search is slightly different to normal as the search performed is more fuzzy in terms of the data returned and also provides spelling corrections and suggested full search queries.

Facets are used to filter down lists of products. The possible values are returned as part of a search/product list query and are then supplied back to filter the list down.

Normal

query Search {
  search(options: {
    currency: GBP
    shippingDestination: GB
    limit: 30
    offset: 0
    sort: RELEVANCE
    facets: []
  }, query: "Protain" # purposefully spelt wrong to highlight corrections
  ) {
    total
    hasMore
    correctedQuery
    facets {
      ... on RangedFacet {
        facetName
        facetHeader
        options {
          displayName
          from
          to
          matchedProductCount
        }
      }
      ... on SimpleFacet {
        facetName
        facetHeader
        options {
          optionName
          displayName
          matchedProductCount
        }
      }
      ... on SliderFacet {
        facetName
        facetHeader
        minValue
        maxValue
      }
    }
    products {
      url
      title
      images {
        thumbnail
        largeProduct
        zoom
      }
      reviews {
        total
        averageScore
      }
      defaultVariant(options: {
      	currency:GBP,
        shippingDestination: GB,
      }) {
        title
        price(currency: GBP,
          shippingDestination: GB) {
          price {
            currency
            amount
            displayValue
          }
          rrp {
            currency
            amount
            displayValue
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Normal Search Using Barcode

You are also able to search for listed products by their barcode, simply state barcode as an option and pass your required barcode value as a String to the option field.

query Search {
    search(options: {
        currency: GBP
        shippingDestination: GB
        facets: []
        barcode: "<your required barcode value>"
    }, query: ""
    ) {
        products {
            title
        }
    }
}

Instant

query InstantSearch {
  instantSearch(
    currency: GBP
    shippingDestination: GB
    limit: 5
    query: "protei" # purposefully spelt wrong to highlight corrections
  ) {
    corrections {
      correction
      highlightedSearchCorrection
    }
    suggestedSearchQueries
    products {
      url

      defaultVariant(options: {
      	currency:GBP,
        shippingDestination: GB,
      }) {
        title
        price(currency: GBP,
          shippingDestination: GB) {
          price {
            currency
            amount
            displayValue
          }
          rrp {

            amount
            displayValue
