Intelligent Search is a VTEX IO alternative to Legacy Search. It assists the customer in their purchase journey and presents results from the first interaction with the search bar. The tool displays search and product suggestions that may interest the user. Intelligent Search also corrects spelling errors and understands words not contained in the product information.

The VTEX Search app is responsible for handling the new Intelligent Search solution in IO stores by providing new UI components that enhance the search experience, such as the autocomplete feature.

The Intelligent Search API allows you to consult the information about the user's search in your store and its terms. You can also access information about banners, facets, and suggested terms.

VTEX Search Result app is responsible for handling the result fetched by the Intelligent Search API and displaying it to users. The app exports all store blocks expected in a search results page, such as the filters and the product gallery.

The Search Bar component shows a search bar with autocomplete options and displays the matching products.

The Autocomplete is an alternative for the default VTEX autocomplete. The functionality displays previous search results based on current and previous searches. These results are presented in four different lists, which can be together or separated, depending on the customer's interaction.

Banners are the functionality responsible for displaying banners as promotional actions on the customer's search result page. This process is done by associating the words and filters selected when searching for these banners.
