Examples of search experiences
Feature availability is part of a phased rollout. Your organization may not see this functionality yet. It will become available when your environment is included in the rollout.
SitecoreAI allows you to design tailored search experiences for different content types and user needs. Regardless of the content you are searching, you can create focused experiences that highlight the information most relevant to your audience.
Using Sitecore AI you can design search experiences to fit your unique requirements. Here are some common examples:
Events
An events website can use a search experience to present upcoming events in a way that matches a visitor’s interests and constraints. Users might search by keyword (for example “jazz” or “workshop”) and refine results by date, location, price, or event type.
Event details such as start date, venue, ticket availability, and price can be surfaced directly on the event card. Where available, event posters or promotional imagery help users understand the event at a glance and get a sense of its atmosphere.
Displaying short descriptions or key highlights in the results lets users quickly judge whether an event is suitable. Action buttons can be included to let users continue their journey with a relevant item.
Articles
A site that publishes articles, for example, a blog or newspaper, can use a search experience to help readers find relevant content quickly. Users can search by keyword, for example, “weather report” or “winter skincare”.
Article cards can surface structured information such as the title, featured image, publication date, and a short excerpt summarizing the content. This gives readers enough context to assess relevance directly from the results view.
If your content includes metadata such as tags or categories, you can expose these as refinements to support more targeted exploration. For example, Beginner guides, Industry news, or Technical deep‑dives. Optional interactions like Save for later, or Download PDF as helpful can be included to improve engagement and reader retention.
Products
A fashion retailer may use a search experience to help shoppers quickly find items that match their preferences. Users can enter keywords for example, “linen shirt”. This allows them to narrow a large product catalog to only the items that meet their needs.
You can highlight specific product attributes, for example, NEW, SALE, or Low stock, by treating them as structured features and displaying them directly on the product card. This makes it easier for shoppers to recognize time‑sensitive or noteworthy items at a glance.
To streamline the buying experience, additional interactions can be surfaced on hover or focus, such as buttons to add to cart or add to wishlist. These small conveniences reduce friction and keep users engaged with the products most relevant to them.
