Tips and Tricks
Check Your Spelling
Don’t worry too much about typos—our auto-correction is here to help. But if results aren’t showing what you expect, double-check or try rephrasing.
Use Specific Keywords
The more detailed your search query, the more accurately we can match your request. For example, search “organic moisturizer” instead of just “moisturizer.”
Explore Different Tabs
If you’re looking for a live show or want to follow a channel, switch to the appropriate tab to see relevant matches.
Combine Filters and Sorting
Looking for items under a certain price that are also trending? Filter by Price, then sort by Relevance.
Refresh & Retry
If you’ve changed your mind or want to start fresh, simply clear your search text or click Reset Filters on the full search page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I seeing different tabs for Shows, Products, and Channels?
TalkShopLive offers more than just products. We also host shows and creator channels. Each tab helps you find exactly what you’re interested in, whether that's something to buy or shows to watch!
Do I need to filter or sort every time I search?
No. Filtering and sorting are optional tools for refining your results. If you’re happy with the initial list, simply pick an item, add it to your cart, and continue shopping. If you're not yet convinced there's something you want to buy, check out our shows. You can find the shows are currently live, or watch replays of shows that went live on our platform.
Why am I not seeing the item I want in the quick results?
The quick search modal shows the top matches, but not every possible result. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, press Enter to view the full results page.
Does auto-correction work for all queries?
Auto-correction covers common typos, misspellings, and synonyms, but it might not catch everything. If you’re not finding what you need, try adjusting your search words.
Are my past searches saved or shared?
TalkShopLive respects your privacy. Basic search history may be stored to help improve suggestions, but is never sold or shared with third parties.
