Imagine what would happen if you put all your products on your eCommerce website’s front page? It will make shopping worst experience with non-ending scrolling. User experience matters a lot when it comes to online shopping and since the competition is quite fierce, it’s even important to ensure better experience when the target visitor lands at the web page. It is imperative that a website has good search functionality. Customization can be an option, but nothing works better than the premium Magento extensions.

Here in this article, I’ve listed the top three Magento extensions used for improved search functionality that can help you engage and retain a large number of customers on your store without indulging in the customizations. And one more thing, the list is not a ranking list and the prices quoted here can change.

This extension works by classifying all the listed brands in an alphabetical manner. It creates a bar above the main navigation menu where the complete list of all the brands will be available for buyers.
