Search types in Sapera are an essential part of the product catalog setup, used to categorize and structure the ways products can be searched and filtered in the system. The feature enables the creation and management of different search types that act as categories for organizing products based on specific parameters or properties.
These search types are particularly useful in connection with product display in web shops or POS modules, where they help create a more user-friendly experience for customers or employees. Examples of search types could be "Web shop brands" or "Web shop categories," which make it possible to filter and present products based on brand or category.
