# Search Pulse FAQ

Everything you need to know about setting up and customizing your lightning-fast store search.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does Search Pulse work with all Shopify themes?">
    Yes. Search Pulse is delivered as a theme app extension and works out of the box with all **Online Store 2.0** themes. For vintage (non-OS2.0) themes, you may need to manually add the app embed block to your theme layout.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is the difference between Float and Embed mode?">
    **Float mode** adds a floating search button to a corner of the screen that opens a search popup. **Embed mode** allows you to place a search bar directly into your page layout. You can even set different modes for different pages (e.g., Embed on Home, Float on Products).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I hide out-of-stock products?">
    **Absolutely.** In the **Inventory & Vendors** settings, you can toggle "Hide out of stock products" to ensure your customers only see items that are ready for purchase.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Will this slow down my PageSpeed scores?">
    **Not at all.** The Search Pulse widget is loaded asynchronously. This means it doesn't block your page from loading, and its lightning-fast results are served from a global edge network to ensure a sub-100ms response time.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do Product Boosts and Redirects work?">
    **Product Boosts** let you pin specific items to the top of results for certain keywords (great for promotions). **Search Redirects** allow you to send users to a specific URL (like a /returns page) instead of showing search results when they type specific terms.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How does the data stay up to date?">
    Search Pulse uses Shopify webhooks to automatically sync your data. When you add a product or edit a blog post in Shopify, Search Pulse typically updates its index within minutes.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I customize the look to match my brand?">
    Yes. You have full control over colors, fonts, icons, and border-radius. For advanced users, we also provide a **Custom CSS** field to inject your own styling rules directly into the widget.
