Overview

A product search tool is one of the most accessed area on an ecommerce website. Visitors and customers head for the Search tool to find products and content. With Product Search Preview Content, you can add a space to the right of your Commerce Vision Search tool. This can be used to highlight products, alert users to new content, even external pages. Just add images, text and links.

The content displays when the user clicks in the Search box. It will disappear as soon as the user starts typing in the Search box.
