# Enable Partial SKU Search in Your B2B Store

Reduce "no results found" errors by enabling buyers to locate products using incomplete or unformatted SKUs. For example, buyers can search for a product with SKU "SKU:123-57-ABC" by entering "ABC", "57-AB", "1235", or "123-5". The search query matches the terms buyers enter to parts of the SKU, ignoring hyphens, underscores, spaces, periods, or slashes.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;"><a href="https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.comm_editions.htm&amp;language=en_US" target="_blank">View supported editions</a>.</td></tr></tbody></table>

If partial SKU search is enabled, buyers can find products without typing the whole SKU. Buyers see results after entering three characters, and the system can match up to 12 characters.

1. In the navigation sidebar, select a store from the **Store** dropdown.
2. Select **Settings** | **Search**.
3. Click the **Additional Settings** tab
4. Under the Search section, enable **Partial SKU Search**.
    
    To ensure accurate searches, store SKU values in either the Product Code or Product SKU fields in the Product Object. See [Product Fields](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.om_product_fields.htm&language=en_US) .
5. Save your changes.

Note

When you use semantic search, sort by Best Match to return the expected results.
