Salesforce B2C Commerce 24.7 > Merchandising Your Site > Customers

Search for Customers

You can search using simple or advanced search parameters.

After a customer registers in the storefront, you can view their information in Business Manager. See Customers.

Customer profile search results return the most relevant results first. An algorithm decides how close a match is relative to the information provided. When you enter the name Smith for example, the search results might include Smith, Smyth, and Schmidt, with Smith appearing at the top of the results.

Salesforce B2C Commerce performs full text case insensitive search. In multi-word searches, word order is irrelevant. B2C Commerce searches for all possible word orders. Wildcards are not supported.

When elastic search for customer search is enabled, the advance search with query string parameters for customer attributes accepts only full string values.

You can also use this service programmatically through the B2C Commerce API.
