# Search and predictive search are now available on Storefront API

You can now use `search` and `predictiveSearch` queries in the GraphQL Storefront API to enable natural language search on your custom storefronts.

The [search](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/latest/queries/search) API returns the most releavant search results among product, page and article resource types. Merchants can use the [Shopify Search & Discovery app](https://apps.shopify.com/search-and-discovery) to change the default value of the resource types and customize search results.

The [predictiveSearch](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/latest/queries/predictiveSearch) API helps you implement a predictive search dropdown interface where suggested results are displayed immediately as buyers type into the search bar.
