Configure Search Catalog

In this post, we will introduce how to configure Search or Catalog search in Magento 2. Setting the minimum and maximum number of characters that can be submitted in a query is an important part when you adjust the Catalog Search configuration. For example: you can choose the minimum number 1 and the maximum number 148.

This configuration provides your customers with a useful tool to find the product they want just by typing a few words or phrases. Once their shopping experience is improved, they are more likely to finalize the purchase. You can set this up in the default Magento 2, or use Mavenbird AJAX Search extension with more amazing features.
