If you find the sales of your eCommerce site are inactive, then it is a serious problem which will not allow your business to grow. One of the reasons for this is customers/users are not able to search for the products they want precisely on your eCommerce site and this is due to the custom in-built search navigation. This search navigation doesn’t give the desired results to the users and as a result, they get tired of searching for the products they want and leave the website. The majority of the customers today prefer search over navigation menus or filtering.
