In this guide, you can read and learn about Initial Content for Search and how to set it up.

With the feature Initial Content, it is possible to present product recommendations to your visitors as part of the search experience, whenever no search results are shown. This is for use cases where the visitor has either started typing some search words or if there are no relevant results to find.


Retargeted and Popular Products

The selection of retargeted products is unique to each visitor, and what they see will depend on what they have interacted with and looked at.
