They can be a single word or a phrase and each entry is separated onto a new line in the long text area field. Ensure the field is on your page layouts so your Admins and Content Creators can add to this field when creating products or site content and make it easier for your customers to find. Search Keywords are case insensitive so they can type it with capitals, or not, and it will work the same.\n\nField API Name: s\\_c\\_\\_Search\\_Keywords\\_\\_c\n\n## Example\n\nYour hardware store sells many tools that are referred to by different names depending on the industry that uses them, like an Allen Key. Your product may be Labelled \"Allen Key Set\" but many customers call it a Hex Key or Allen Wrench.\n\nYour Search Keywords field may then contain these variations plus any misspelled versions.\n\n```text\n\nhex key\nhex wrench\nbike tool\nAlan Key\nAlan Wrench\nflatpack furniture tool\n```"}
