searchProducts

Method executing a product search in Salesforce Commerce Cloud.

This method communicates with the searchProducts endpoint of the Vue Storefront API Middleware. In turn, it receives data from the productSearch or the Search Products endpoints exposed by SCAPI / OCAPI, depending on the middleware configuration.

Provides keyword and refinement search functionality for products. The search result contains only products that are online and assigned to site catalog. This resource does not return detailed information about variation products. If a variation product matches the query, basic information for the parent master product is returned. Use the products resource to retrieve more details about a variation product.

	props: ProductSearchParams
