# Search

Search settings in **Theme settings > Search** control which result types can appear on the search results page.

## How to change theme search

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open search settings

* Open **Theme settings > Search**.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Toggle result types

* Turn **Enable blog results**, **Enable collection results**, **Enable page results**, **Enable product results**, and **Enable query results** on or off as needed.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Test search

* Run searches in the storefront preview and confirm only enabled types appear.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

### Notes on search

* Disabling a type affects the theme search experience; Shopify may still index that content elsewhere.
* **Enable query results** controls query-style results where the theme uses them—preview search and any search drawer you use.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.brickspacelab.com/slab/getting-started/global-settings/search-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
