    The problem: a technical catalog the search bar couldn't understand

    Iluminica sells luminaires, electrical fixtures, and home décor products — a catalog where customers search very specifically: lamp type, wattage, color temperature, mounting type, decorative style.

    Searches like "warm LED recessed lamp for living room" didn't return the right products even though they existed in the catalog. The search channel generated just 1.4% of total revenue — a clear signal customers didn't trust the results.

    Semantic understanding of lighting vocabulary

    Technical attributes as natural filters

    Color temperature (warm, neutral, cool), socket type (E27, GU10, MR16), wattage are understood as search dimensions.

    Decorative vocabulary

    'Nordic style', 'industrial', 'vintage', or 'minimalist' connect with catalog descriptions even when they're not exact matches.

    Intent-based reranking

    Products that best match the full search query appear first.

    Zero empty results

    Searches that previously returned nothing now suggest relevant alternatives.

    A dormant channel that became the highest-quality one

    GA4 compares the period without SearchMind vs with SearchMind. The strongest signal: conversion from non-search sessions didn't change, confirming the impact is attributable exclusively to the search engine.

    +174% in search conversion rate

    Search channel conversion nearly tripled. Non-search user CR didn't change between periods (0.41% → 0.39%). If the improvement were just seasonality, the entire site would have grown. Only the search channel grew — confirming the impact is directly attributable to SearchMind.

    ~5× higher conversion than non-search sessions

    Users who search convert ~5× more than those who browse without searching. Purchase intent is captured at the exact right moment.

    +147% in view-to-purchase conversion

    The improvement isn't just in clicks: users who reach a product from search complete the purchase far more often. The bottom of the funnel improved dramatically.

    +136% in AOV from search

    Customers who find exactly what they're looking for don't just buy more — they buy better. Average order value grew significantly.
