Large product data setups come with one simple challenge: you know what you're looking for, but not always where it lives.
A product reference might appear in several places. An ID might be connected to multiple entities. A specific term might be used across products, variants, or categories.
Finding it usually meant moving through different areas of Struct PIM one by one - checking products, then variants, then assets, and hoping to land in the right place.
Global Search inside Struct PIM changes that.
Search once, see everything
Instead of navigating section by section, you can now search broadly across Struct PIM and get a clear view of where a term, ID, or reference appears across your setup.
A single search surfaces matches across products, variants, variant groups, and assets - all in one result view, clearly grouped by type.
If a SKU shows up in three different places, you see all three. If an image is used across multiple categories, that connection is visible immediately.
That makes it easier to understand not just where something appears, but what kind of entity it belongs to.
You can narrow a search to specific areas when you already know where to look, or keep it broad when you don't.
Built for teams working at scale
For teams managing many products, markets, brands, or business units, this makes everyday navigation easier and more efficient.
Not by adding another tool on top of the platform. Not as a workaround for a data model that's hard to navigate.
Global Search works as a native part of Struct PIM, built directly into the way teams already move through their data.
This matters most in the moments when time is tight.
Troubleshooting a data issue, checking where an asset is used before replacing it, or tracing why a change in one place affects another - these are exactly the situations where manual navigation slows teams down.
Imagine needing to replace an outdated product image used across several markets.
Instead of checking each area manually, Global Search shows where it appears, so you can understand the impact before making the change.
Global Search removes that detour.
The result:
- Less manual lookup work
- Faster troubleshooting when something needs tracing across entities
- A clearer understanding of how information is connected across the product catalog

Conclusion
Product data becomes more connected as a business scales - with more markets, more channels, and more ways the same piece of data gets reused.
Global Search is built for that reality. It gives teams a faster way to connect the dots, so time goes into working with product data, not hunting for it.
On the surface, it is a simpler way to search. In practice, it helps teams spend less time moving through the platform and more time making decisions about the data itself.
Global Search is not about adding another feature on top of Struct PIM - it's about making the data you already have easier to find and understand.
