FAQs

Can I use Bulk Search on any type of smart filter?

This feature only works for smart filters set to type = autocomplete.

Can I run Bulk Search based on option labels?

No, Bulk Search will be run on the metaproperty options database names, not labels. 

For example:

  • Option database name = “SKU_ABC_123_000”.

  • Option label = “SKU ABC 123”.

Is this feature case-sensitive?

Yes, it's case-sensitive, searches will only match when using the precise upper or lower casing as the database names have.
