SEO configuration impact

[prithvisaga55c]

Hello all,

I'm currently an intern playing around the settings of Magento administrator. I noticed the SEO configuration field in the stores > configuration > catalog > storefront > search engine optimization. I wanted to know if the settings here have any impact on the search performed within my store and the way the products are listed. Is the SEO configuration used only for the searches performed on a search engine like Google?

Thank you

Yes, the search engine optimization fields in the Magento Admin relate to external search engines like Google.

There is another section that relates to internal Site Search functionality. You can access this section by following these steps:

1. On the Admin sidebar, go to Stores > Settings > Configuration.

2. In the left panel, expand Catalog and choose Catalog underneath.

3. Expand the Catalog Search section.

Best of luck!
