How to analyze customer search trends with your AI

Connect Searchspring to your AI client to turn raw autocomplete logs into actionable product insights. Once connected, your agent can query your storefront's search data directly.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I see what customers are searching for?

Your AI uses the suggest_queries tool to pull the most recent autocomplete terms from your Searchspring instance. This reveals the specific phrases, brands, and categories customers use when they land on your site.

The outcomes

What you get from the data

The AI processes search logs to give you these specific outputs.

GAP ANALYSIS

Find missing products

The AI identifies high-volume search terms that return zero results. You'll see exactly what customers want that you don't currently stock.

TREND TRACKING

Spot rising demand

By looking at query frequency, your agent identifies emerging categories or seasonal shifts before they show up in sales reports.

MERCHANDISING

Optimize search relevance

Use the actual language customers use to refine your site's search rules and category names.

HUMAN REVIEW

Verify intent

The AI flags ambiguous or misspelled queries for you to review. You decide if these require new landing pages or just better synonyms.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your storefront's search engine and your chat interface.

  1. Fetch search logs

    The agent reaches into Searchspring to grab the latest autocomplete suggestions and user queries.

  2. Group search terms
