How shoppers actually type

Real query shapes from Italian storefronts, and what each one has to match.

Synonym groups are configured once in the dashboard. Everything else works out of the box.

❌

Italian accents sit on the last letter — 'città', 'perché', 'caffè' — which is exactly where a hurried shopper drops them.

❌

Double consonants carry meaning and invite mistakes: 'magliette' typed as 'magliete', 'spaghetti' as 'spagetti'.

❌

Retail vocabulary runs formal and informal at once: 'telefonino' and 'smartphone', 'pc' and 'computer', 'scarpe da ginnastica' and 'sneakers'.

❌

English loanwords sit inside Italian product titles — outlet, sneakers, smart TV — so a single query mixes two languages.

✅

Accent-insensitive matching in both directions, so 'citta' and 'città' reach the same products no matter which side carries the accent.

✅

Typo tolerance of one to two characters, which is precisely the gap a missing double consonant leaves.

✅

Synonym groups map informal vocabulary onto the catalogue's wording — 'telefonino' to 'smartphone' — without touching your product data.

✅

Italian and English terms live in the same index, so a query that mixes them needs no special handling.

⚡

The widget interface ships in Italian and is fetched at runtime, so it adds nothing to your bundle.

⚡

Filter, sorting and pagination labels are translated, with accented characters correct throughout.

⚡

Reword any label with a custom locale file if your brand voice calls for something different.
