How does Glood AI Search differ from Shopify's built-in search?
Shopify's native search relies on basic keyword matching, which means it misses misspellings, synonyms, and natural language queries. Glood AI Search uses semantic understanding and NLP to interpret what shoppers actually mean — not just what they type. It also learns from real-time behavioral signals like clicks, add-to-carts, and purchases to continuously improve result relevance. The result is higher conversion rates, lower zero-result rates, and a search experience that gets smarter every day.How fast is Glood's search response time?
Glood AI Search delivers results in under 50 milliseconds on average. Our distributed architecture is built to handle 10,000+ concurrent search queries without degradation, so your customers get instant results even during peak traffic events like flash sales or holiday promotions. Speed is not a best-effort metric — it is a core infrastructure guarantee.Do I need a developer to install Glood AI Search?
No. Glood AI Search installs directly from the Shopify App Store with a single click. There are no theme modifications, no code changes, and no developer involvement required. Once installed, Glood automatically indexes your product catalog and replaces your native search. Most stores are fully live within 15 minutes.How does Glood handle typos and synonyms?
Glood uses a multi-layered approach to typo tolerance and synonym resolution. Our NLP engine automatically corrects common misspellings, maps synonyms (e.g., "sneakers" to "trainers" to "athletic shoes"), and uses intent mapping to understand what the shopper is looking for even when the query is imprecise. You can also manage custom synonyms and redirect rules through the Glood dashboard.Is my data secure with Glood?
Absolutely. Glood is SOC 2 compliant and GDPR ready. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard AES-256 and TLS 1.3 protocols. Your product catalog data and customer search behavior are never shared with third parties and are used exclusively to power your store's search experience.Can Glood search by vehicle year, make, and model?
Yes. Glood's fitment engine parses year/make/model/trim from natural language queries. A search for 'brake pads 2019 Honda Civic EX' returns only pads confirmed to fit that exact vehicle, eliminating wrong-fitment results and reducing returns.How does Glood handle OEM and aftermarket part numbers?
Glood recognizes part numbers in all common formats - OEM numbers, aftermarket equivalents, partial numbers, and hyphenated variants. Searching '15400-PLM-A02' returns the matching part plus cross-compatible alternatives from other brands in your catalog.Does Glood cross-reference parts across different brands?
Absolutely. Glood maintains a cross-reference database that maps equivalent parts across brands. If a buyer searches for a Bosch spark plug number but you only carry NGK, Glood surfaces the compatible NGK equivalent automatically.Can Glood distinguish between OEM replacement and performance upgrade searches?
Yes. Glood detects purchase intent from the query context. Searching 'exhaust for Mustang GT' suggests OEM replacement options, while 'performance exhaust for Mustang GT' prioritizes aftermarket performance systems. This intent detection improves both relevance and conversion.How does Glood reduce wrong-fitment returns for auto parts stores?
Glood eliminates wrong-fitment purchases at the search level by matching every query against verified fitment data. Only parts confirmed for the specified vehicle appear in results. Stores using Glood typically see a significant reduction in fitment-related returns and the reverse logistics costs that come with them.
