Google Commerce Gets Updated With Instant Search, In-Store Availability, Recommendations And More

For the past two years, Google has offered Commerce Search, a hosted enterprise search product to power online retail stores and e-commerce websites. While Google offers hosted enterprise search to web platforms, Commerce Search was the the company's first custom-tailored search product for a specific vertical. The search giant has been steadily updating Commerce Search since 2009, but today's release is the retail search product's most significant update in the past two years. The first two versions of Google Commerce offered a variety of features that are optimized for retail and product search, such as parametric search, sorting of results, spell checker, stemming, a merchandising dashboard, query autocompletion and more. Google even dropped the starting price of Commerce last year, to $25,000 per year for 3 million searches and 50,000 items indexed. Google's new version of Commerce Search has been updated with a few more compelling features including instant search, local product availability, search recommendations and more.
