Which API is typically used to execute product searches in SFCC?

The Search API is specifically designed for executing product searches within Salesforce Commerce Cloud. This API provides developers with the tools to perform complex search queries that can filter and sort products based on various criteria such as categories, attributes, and pricing.

Utilizing the Search API allows for efficient and customizable search functionalities, enabling merchants to offer a tailored shopping experience for their customers. It covers the needs for faceted search capabilities, relevance ranking, and supports different types of search methods to retrieve product information optimally.

In contrast, while the Data API manages data-related tasks and the Commerce API encompasses broader commerce functionalities, and the Catalog API is primarily focused on catalog management, they do not specifically address the search functionalities that are unique to the Search API. Hence, the Search API is the most suitable choice for executing product searches in SFCC.
