Minofinder: AI search and product advisor for online shops
The shop search that understands what your customers mean and advises in chat like a sales assistant in a store.
Minofinder is an AI search with a product advisor for online shops. Your customers find products even with typos or in their own words, and the chat answers questions with items from your actual catalogue. Minofinder runs as a plugin in Shopware 6, Shopware 5 and WooCommerce. We develop and operate Minofinder ourselves in Bargteheide.
Features
What Minofinder does day to day.
-
Error-tolerant search
Typos, swapped letters and missing umlauts still lead to the right product. Minofinder reads filters directly from the query, and you maintain synonyms and industry terms yourself.
-
Product advisor in chat
The chat only recommends items from your actual catalogue. You write the system prompt yourself and can add extra knowledge as PDFs.
-
Recognises images and documents
Customers take a photo of an invoice, a rating plate or a vehicle registration document. Minofinder turns it into a search query.
-
Prices and customer groups from Shopware
Customer group prices appear automatically. You hide products or prices via a custom field and expand variants with a click.
-
Zero-result analysis
You see what people searched for without finding anything. Minofinder uses AI to suggest suitable corrections.
-
Conversion in the dashboard
The dashboard shows which searches led to orders, along with usage in real time.
Who Minofinder is for
- Shops with a large range where the standard search returns no results for synonyms, technical terms or typos.
- B2B shops that need customer group prices, hidden items or “price on request” in the search as well.
- Shops where customers need advice, for example on spare parts, technology or accessories, where customers first have to find out what fits.
- Agencies that want to manage several client shops with one login.
How Minofinder gets into your shop
You activate the plugin, and Minofinder then indexes your catalogue automatically. Search and chat use the same index, and prices and stock levels come straight from the shop. You adjust colours, corner radii and result cards in the admin without any code. For shops without a dedicated plugin there are embed snippets.
Why we run our own search
Minofinder grew out of our daily work with Shopware shops. Search is used in almost every shop and yet rarely maintained. We wanted customers to find what they mean and shops to see how well their search performs. What we learn about search behaviour, indexing and AI along the way feeds into our Shopware projects and our advice on AI search and product advice.

Frequently asked questions
Which shop systems does Minofinder work with?
Minofinder runs as a plugin in Shopware 6 (versions 6.5 to 6.7), Shopware 5 and WooCommerce. A direct integration for JTL-Shop and Magento is in preparation. Until then, and for other shop systems, you add Minofinder via an embed snippet.
Which AI powers Minofinder?
The product advisor runs on Claude by Anthropic. Search and chat use the same index, which Minofinder fills automatically from your shop. Recommendations therefore come from your real catalogue, with the prices and stock levels from the shop.
Which languages does Minofinder search and advise in?
In the shop, search and chat work in German, English, French, Turkish and Danish. One language is included in the package, and each additional language adds a surcharge to the monthly price. The admin interface is available in German and English.
