Search modes
Default, Simple and Smart modes allow different ranking strategies depending on store setup and performance goals.

Attribute weights define how product fields influence the final result order.
Frontend overlay
AJAX live search, mini product detail view, variant rendering, wishlist, compare and add-to-cart support.

Search settings and diagnostics are available in the Magento admin.

Variant handling
Color and size options can be displayed in the overlay with validation for add-to-cart flows.
