Search and Navigation UX

Shoppers who use site search convert far more often, as long as it works. Horavo tests your search with words from your own product titles, walks the mobile menu in a real browser, and counts how many clicks a product sits from the homepage.

What Horavo checks

Guarantee shoppers can locate products quickly by testing site search functionality, predictive text, collection filters, and menu click depth.

  • A visible site search on the homepage
  • Search returns results for words taken from your own product titles
  • Predictive search responds as shoppers type
  • The zero-results page offers suggestions instead of a dead end
  • Collection pages have filters, sorting and pagination
  • Breadcrumbs are visible on product pages
  • Products sit within a reasonable click depth from home
  • The main nav leads into your collections; the footer nav exists
  • No collections left unlinked from anywhere
  • The mobile menu opens and navigates, walked in a real browser
A finding, as the board shows it

Named, rated, and ready to hand off.

Every Search & navigation finding carries the page it was found on and a rating for impact and difficulty, so the same issue reads the same on every run and can be fixed, verified and closed.

Search for “linen” returns no results though 12 product titles contain it
