Kea Search Pro, Joli Search, and Amazzing Filter FAQ

Can Joli Search and Amazzing Filter work together?
Yes. They solve different storefront jobs and can form a practical two-module setup: Joli Search for visual instant search and Amazzing Filter for faceted navigation. Replacing them is useful only when the store wants ranking, the results page, filters, merchandising, analytics, and Preview managed as one system.
What is the main difference in search relevance?
Kea Search Pro documents configurable searchable fields, field priorities, language processing, synonyms, typo handling, and BM25 scoring. The public Joli Search sources reviewed describe instant visual results, typo and letter-inversion handling, and an AND-query option, but do not document an equivalent field-weighted BM25 workflow.
Does Kea Search Pro replace every Amazzing Filter use case?
No. Amazzing Filter is a specialist filtering module with configurable templates and filtering across several catalog pages. Keep it when faceted navigation is the main job and its current version fits the store. Kea is the broader choice when keyword relevance, results, filters, merchandising, and search analytics must work together.
Does Kea Search Pro include search analytics?
Yes. Kea includes dashboard KPIs and reports for Top Queries, Zero Results, Lost Opportunities, and Popular Products. The current public sources reviewed for the two-module setup do not document one shared search-analytics workflow across Joli Search and Amazzing Filter.
Can I manage promoted products in Kea Search Pro?
Yes. Kea can pin products for searches and boost, lower, or hide products and categories. Merchants can review the changed order in Preview before enabling it for shoppers.
Should I uninstall both modules before trying Kea?
No. Install and configure Kea, build its index, and test the storefront in Preview first. Remove or disable overlapping modules only after checking the theme, search box, results page, filters, and important catalog queries.
