Find any product instantly with full-text search
Shopigent's search_products tool gives your AI agent the ability to search across your entire product catalog by keyword — just like the Shopify admin search, but accessible from any MCP client.
What it is
search_products is a new read tool that performs full-text search across product titles, descriptions, and tags. It returns matching products with relevance scores, so the most relevant results appear first.
Search my store for "wool beanie" — show me the top 5 matches.
Why it's different from list_products
list_products returns products with optional filters (status, collection, etc.). search_products is built for discovery — when you don't know exactly what you're looking for but have a keyword in mind.
| Tool | Best for |
|---|---|
list_products |
Browsing a category, paginated listing, status filters |
search_products |
Keyword search, finding a specific product by name or description |
Example prompts
Find products by material
Search for products containing "organic cotton" in their description.
List the top 3 with their prices and inventory.
Find products by tag or keyword
Search for "clearance" across all product names and tags.
Show me how many are still in stock.
Product research
Search for "running" in my store and tell me which products
need better meta descriptions based on their search ranking.
Compare with list_products
Search for "winter" products. Then for each result, check
if the inventory is below 10 and add it to a restock list.
How it works with the tool grid
search_products is part of the Products category (15 tools). Enable it in Curated Tools alongside list_products, get_product_by_id, and the product write tools.
Available on all plans (Free, Growth, Pro).
