Bussol Smart Search Pro — intelligent search for an online store

What this solution does

Bussol SmartSearch Pro is a module for the 1C-Bitrix: Site Management platform designed to enhance product search in online stores. The solution enables customers to find items quickly even when they make typos, use colloquial names such as blyutus naushniki, or lack the exact article number.

The functionality includes smart search suggestions, handling of typos and word forms, synonym dictionaries, flexible relevance tuning, CTR analytics, voice input, and image-based product search. This is critical because users often do not know the exact catalog terminology, make keyboard layout errors, enter only part of a model name, or search by photo. Standard literal matching is often ineffective in these scenarios. The module expands search capabilities and provides store administrators with tools to manage result rankings.

Key features:

Typos and layout handling. The system processes inaccurate queries to locate products despite common input errors.

Morphology and dictionaries. Support for word forms, synonyms, stop words, and query transformation rules. Integration with dictionaries via CSV files is supported.

Instant suggestions. Search results appear in a dropdown list as the user types. Users can navigate to a found product or clear the search bar with a single click.

Dedicated results page. Pagination and various sorting options are available for the search results.

Relevance management. Weight coefficients can be configured for product titles, descriptions, and properties, as well as priorities for sections, information blocks, and specific products.

Commercial ranking. Product availability, price, and popularity are taken into account according to store settings.

Search analytics and CTR. Statistics are collected for queries, impressions, clicks, zero-result searches, and user interest in the results.

Voice search. Query input via microphone is supported in browsers that implement the Web Speech API.

Image search. Local comparison of images based on visual similarity using the perceptual hash algorithm. Optionally, hybrid search with embeddings is available via an attachable HTTPS service.

Easy administration. Settings are located in the left Bitrix menu and divided into eight thematic tabs. Separate settings are supported for different websites.

The Bussol SmartSearch Pro module is designed for online stores built on the 1C-Bitrix platform that utilize info blocks for product catalogs. It supports a wide range of categories including electronics, clothing, auto parts, industrial equipment, and home goods. The solution provides shoppers with enhanced search capabilities, enables store owners and marketers to manage result priorities and analyze search demand, and offers administrators tools for configuration, indexing, and system diagnostics.

To begin, install the bussol.smartsearchpro module. Then navigate to Bussol → SmartSearch Pro → Settings to select the target site, specify the info blocks, and choose fields for indexing. Subsequently, configure dictionaries, relevance algorithms, commercial factors, and the interface. Place the bussol:smartsearch component in the site template; if needed, connect the bussol:smartsearch.results component for a dedicated results page. After creating the search index, the system is ready to process real user queries.

Key technical features include image search based on perceptual hash, which performs local image comparison. Semantic vector search requires a compatible external embedding service that must be configured separately. Voice input functionality depends on browser support, microphone permissions, and speech recognition conditions.

Search accuracy depends on the catalog composition, index quality, configured dictionaries, and relevance rules.

To work with prices and stock levels, a properly configured 1C-Bitrix trade catalog is required.

Bussol SmartSearch Pro is a search solution tailored to your store's tasks.

Help customers find the right product in a familiar way: via text, voice, or photo. Manage what appears in search results, analyze search queries, and improve the catalog based on data.
