Your customers type nonsense. Sayless finds it anyway.
AI search for Shopify that understands typos, vibes, and half-remembered product names, and shows you the searches that dead-ended so you can fix them in one click.

Most stores never turn it on.
What it does
Three things, done well.
No 40-dial control panel. No 14-step setup. The defaults are the right defaults.
Semantic
Search that understands meaning.
Someone types "warm thing for skiing" and they get your fleeces. Vibes, descriptions, use-cases. Not just product titles.
warm for skiing→Fleece pullover
Typo-tolerant
Dead ends stop being dead ends.
"Adidaz", "airrpods", "candl": Sayless doesn't shrug. It finds the product anyway, without you maintaining a synonym list.

Analytics
See what they wanted, but didn't find.
A list of the queries that came up empty, ranked by volume. Gaps in your catalogue, in plain English. That's the whole thing.

FAQs.
How long does setup take, really?
About five minutes, and most of that is waiting. Click install, approve a few permissions, and we'll quietly read in your products in the background (2-8 minutes depending on how big your catalog is). One quick stop in your theme editor to drop in our search results block, and you're live. If your theme is unusual and the search icon doesn't open Sayless on its own, message us. We'll send the one-line fix the same day.
What's the difference between the search overlay and the results page?
Two flavors of the same magic. The overlay pops up when a shopper clicks your search icon. Perfect for quick lookups with smart suggestions as they type. The results page takes over your /search URL with proper filters, sort, and pagination. That's where shoppers land when they hit Enter or want to scroll through everything. You get both for free with one install. Want only one of them? Toggle either off in your theme editor, no questions asked.
Will it work with my theme?
Almost certainly yes. Dawn, Horizon, Craft, Sense, Refresh, Studio and most popular paid themes work the moment you install, no configuration, no fiddling. If your theme is heavily customized, you might need to add a
data-sayless-trigger attribute to your search input (about a minute of work). And if we genuinely can't make it play nice with yours, we'll tell you straight up before you pay a cent.Will it slow down my store?
Nope. The widget weighs about as much as a small thumbnail image, and it doesn't even wake up until a shopper opens the search bar. Your store's speed score won't budge. Promise. The bigger results page only loads when someone actually visits /search, so the rest of your store stays exactly as fast as you've built it.
What about my customers' privacy?
We take this one seriously. Sayless never asks for shopper names, emails, phone numbers, or addresses, because we genuinely don't need any of it. We just remember an anonymous visitor ID so the same shopper can see their own “recent searches” next time, plus what they typed and what caught their eye. If a shopper opts out of analytics on your store, we don't track them at all. Shopify's own privacy controls do the heavy lifting. There's even a “Clear all” button right in the search bar where any shopper can wipe their data instantly. Read the full story in our privacy policy.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 14 days of Pro on us, no card required. You'll get unlimited products, unlimited searches, and the full analytics view. When the trial ends, you can stay on the free plan or continue with Pro at $29/mo. Your call, no surprises. One trial per shop, so make it count.
Does it actually understand typos and synonyms?
Both, baked right in. Typos? Already handled. “Yelow dres” finds your yellow dress with zero setup on your end. Synonyms are even better: tell Sayless once in your dashboard that “couch” means “sofa, settee, loveseat,” and shoppers who search “couch” will both find your sofa products AND see those words pop up as suggestions while they type. Teach it your customers' language once, and it just keeps paying off.
What happens if I go over the free plan?
Nothing breaks. Your first 50 products stay searchable and your store handles up to 1,000 searches a month on the free plan. If you outgrow it, we'll let you know in your dashboard, never with a surprise charge or a broken storefront. Upgrading is always your decision, never ours.
Can I cancel any time?
Of course. One click from your Shopify admin and you're done. No forms to fill out, no “are you sure?” dance, no emails trying to win you back. The moment you uninstall, your storefront goes back to Shopify's default search like nothing ever happened.
Who can see my data?
Just you. Your catalog and search history live in their own walled garden, encrypted everywhere they go, never mixed with other merchants' data, never sold to anyone, never used to train AI. We're a tool for your store, not a data harvester.
