Introducing Our Enhanced Search Experience
Shop smarter, not harder! Spoken's supercharged search now reads your mind (almost). Find your dream decor faster than ever before.
At Spoken, we're committed to making your shopping journey as seamless and enjoyable as possible. That's why we're thrilled to introduce our latest update: an enhanced search user experience (UX) paired with improved search results. Whether you're hunting for the perfect piece of furniture or simply browsing for inspiration, our new search functionality is designed to help you find exactly what you're looking for with greater ease and precision.
What’s New?
Previously, our search functionality was limited to a simple search bar. While it got the job done, we knew we could do better. Now, with this update, we've transformed the search experience into something far more powerful and intuitive.
- Search Suggestions: As you type in the search bar, you'll now see dynamic suggestions that help narrow down your query. For example, typing "couch" will instantly bring up related terms like "sectional couch," "velvet couch," and "modular couch," making it easier to specify what you're looking for.
- Popular Searches and Spotlight: The new search interface includes a section for popular searches and spotlighted categories or styles. This feature highlights trending items and curated collections, helping you discover new favorites or find inspiration for your next project.
- Improved Search Results: Not only have we enhanced the search interface, but we've also refined the search results themselves. Now, when you search for a term, you'll see more accurate and relevant product suggestions, ensuring you find what you need faster.
- Store and Category Filters: We've added easy access to store and category filters directly from the search interface. Whether you're loyal to a particular brand or looking to explore specific product types, these filters make it simple to zero in on the perfect item.
- Suggested Products: After entering a search term, you'll also see a section of suggested products tailored to your query. This feature is designed to surface items you may not have considered but could fall in love with.
Highlight: Search by URL
One of the most exciting additions to our search capabilities is the new Search by URL feature. Have you ever found a product you love on another website but wanted to see if you could get a better deal or find something similar on Spoken? Now you can! Simply paste the URL of the product page into our search bar, and we’ll show you similar items available on Spoken. It’s a powerful way to explore alternatives or compare prices without the hassle of manually searching.
Highlight: Search by Image
We’re also proud to introduce Search by Image—a game-changer for anyone who has ever spotted something they love but didn’t know where to buy it. Whether it’s a stylish chair in a magazine, a unique lamp in a friend's home, or a decor piece you saw on social media, you can now upload an image, and our search tool will find visually similar products on Spoken. This feature opens up endless possibilities for inspiration and discovery, making it easier than ever to bring your vision to life.
Why You’ll Love It

How to Use It
