AI adoption will not happen at the same pace everywhere.

While some markets have moved quickly toward all-in-one and conversational experiences, others are taking a more measured approach focused on customer readiness, performance, and ROI.

One of your biggest ecommerce revenue leaks could be hiding in plain sight: your search bar. 🔎✨

Refining your search starts with the customer. Not the dashboards. Not the AI hype. Not the benchmarks.

We asked our customers, across industries, company sizes, and roles, what's really shaping their search strategy in 2026. Here's what we found:

📌 89% say improving customer search & discovery is their # 1 goal
📌 84% use engagement KPIs, but no single metric works for every industry
📌 78% track conversion rate (CVR) as a core signal

Bottom line: there's no one-size-fits-all approach to search optimization. Every team is juggling speed, inventory, and AI adoption, but it all comes back to one thing: the customer experience.
