Search Tips for Redirects

Ablestar Link Manager allows you to quickly search through all of your Shopify store redirects. These quick tips will help you become more efficient in your search parameters:

Exact Match

You can search for an exact match by enclosing the URL in quotation marks when filtering through your redirects, similar to: “/products/new-product-47”

From the 'Redirects' view, input the search term in quotes and then enter to filter:

Once product is listed in preview pane, you have the option to click the 'x' icon to remove the redirect or the 'down arrow' icon to re-sync any updates you specify.

Specific Columns

You can specify which column you would like to search by using one of the following commands:

• path: will only search the 'Redirect from' column. 
• target: will only search the 'Redirect To' column.

1. Redirect from:

path:/products/new-product-3

And the results returned would be anything that have (3) as the first digit in the path:

2. Redirect to:

If you want to search through all redirects with a specific 'Redirect to' path it might look like this:

target:/products/gazelle

And the results returned would be anything that start with "gazelle" as the product name:
