What Fynq Adds to Your Theme & How It Works 

Fynq works through components called widgets. These are small, self-contained tools that add new features without interfering with your existing design. 

Here are the key widgets Fynq adds:

1. Instant Search Widget

A pop-up search bar that shows real-time results, suggestions, and filters while the user is typing. Your customers can view all products or choose a particular product from the results shown.

Useful for:

• Reducing bounce rates
• Helping customers find products instantly
• Handling typos or vague queries with smart fallback content

Where to control it:
Configuration > Instant Search Widget

2. Search Results Page

A customizable page that displays full search results, with filters and sorting options.

Useful for:

• Creating branded search experiences
• Helping customers browse in-depth product lists
• Controlling how “no result” messages appear

Where to control it:
Configuration > Search Result Page

3. Smart Filters

Filter panels appear on both collection and search result pages. They can be built using product tags, options, metafields, or custom values.

Useful for:

• Narrowing results quickly
• Organizing large catalogs
• Supporting multi-layered filter logic (e.g., by color, size, style)

Where to control it:
Filters > Filter List

This is how it looks when apply Fynq AI’s filter on your store front:

What About Custom Shopify Themes?

Fynq is built to work with most Shopify themes out of the box, including custom ones. If your theme has heavily modified layouts or search logic, you might need small adjustments, which Fynq’s support team can help you with.

Good to know:

• You don’t need to edit Liquid files or templates.
• You can preview changes using an unpublished theme before going live.
• If you’re using a headless setup or third-party builders, contact support for special cases.

SEO and Performance Considerations

Because Fynq loads asynchronously (in the background), it won’t slow down your site or interfere with Shopify’s SEO-friendly structure, rather it’ll solve the Shopify SEO problems.

You can even:

• Customize search result page meta contents in the admin.
• Control fallback content to avoid empty pages.
• Keep your HTML structure clean for accessibility and indexing.

Final Thoughts: Safe, Flexible, and Built for Shopify Merchants

Once you install and activate the app embed, you’re ready to start customizing everything from filters to recommendations — all from the Fynq admin dashboard.

Fynq keeps your design safe, your performance strong, and your store experience smart.
