SmartParts Finder
Help customers find the right items faster with category-focused product search
This BigCommerce customization enhances your store’s search experience by letting customers search within a specific product category or subset — like ink cartridges or replacement filters — instead of your entire catalog.
For stores with tens of thousands of SKUs, standard search can overwhelm customers with too many results. Pre-targeted item search through Anchor Group’s SmartPart Finder app narrows that focus, helping users quickly find the exact part or replacement they need.
Pain points the app solves
Large catalogs and complex SKUs often make search slow and confusing. This feature removes that friction by creating a faster, more accurate experience:
Simplifies search for high-SKU stores (50,000+)
Decreases customer frustration and support tickets
Speeds up the path-to-purchase for complex or unique parts
Improves overall site usability for customers
Reduces incorrect purchases
Why install the app?
Built in-house by Anchor Group’s BigCommerce experts, this app can be implemented as part of a BigCommerce migration, website optimization project, or included with an Anchor Group managed service plan. Our team configures the necessary product data and metafields so the app delivers accurate, relevant results — every time.

Business use case
A B2B distributor selling printer supplies uses this app to let customers search only within compatible ink cartridges. Instead of sorting through unrelated results, or clicking through multiple layers of categories. Instead, with this Anchor Group BigCommerce app, buyers type their printer model and instantly see the correct products — saving time and improving the overall buying experience.
