Visual search allows customers to find exactly what they search for by using an image instead of trying to describe the product in the right way. It significantly shortens the path to conversion and improves the customer experience. By uploading an image, or a link to an image, the customer can find visually similar items in your inventory.

1. The feature is additionally paid and available on request. Apart from that you will be charged for all item search events generated in response to visual search requests. 2. The following limits apply regarding number of requests for visual search: - 100 per minute - 5000 per day - 50,000 per month The search results guarantees 500 results. More is possible, but not guaranteed.

## Enabling visual search --- Contact the Synerise support to enable visual search for a selected item catalog.

The item catalog can include up to 200 000 items and 1 000 000 images.

## Endpoints dedicated to visual search --- For a list of endpoints, see the [API reference](https://developers.synerise.com/AISearch/AISearch.html#tag/Visual-Search). ## Image requirements --- Visual search performance is best when packshots are included in the item feed or catalog. To further enhance the performance, add more images that accurately represent the item to the item feed or catalog. To ensure good performance, it is recommended that the size of a single image is 640x480 pixels. Using smaller images may result in lower quality results. On the other hand, larger images can lead to higher latency without necessarily improving the results. ## Reindexing --- When you add or update an item, the change becomes visible in the search results after reindexing. Visual search reindexing occurs every 30 minutes to 2 hours and can't be started on demand.
