Your theme controls the basic search results layout, and its settings vary widely by theme. For deeper control, an app block approach replaces the results grid: columns per device, results per page, sale and new badges, color swatches, star ratings, and quick add-to-cart, all managed from one place, plus control over the result order itself.
What Is Worth Customizing
Not every option moves numbers. The changes that tend to matter:
- Result order is the highest-leverage change on the page. What ranks first shapes what sells, more than any styling decision.
- Quick add-to-cart removes a page load between interest and cart, which matters most on mobile.
- Badges and swatches answer questions (on sale? my color?) before the click, so the clicks you get are better qualified.
- Columns per device: mobile deserves its own setting, not a squeezed desktop grid.
Keep Control in One Place
The trap with theme-level customization is that every future change is a theme edit. With Dynasort, the search results grid is an app block you add once; after that, display settings and ranking rules live in the app. Change the recipe, the badge colors, or the grid, and the storefront follows without touching theme code. The styling ships without !important rules, so your theme’s CSS can still override anything it needs to.
Dynasort gives you the search results page, ranked and styled your way. Install it from the Shopify App Store or see the Dynasort search grid.
