Search Tips
If you're having any issues finding the products you need, keep the following tips in mind:
 
  • Find it Fast filters: The addition of In Stock and Previously Purchased filters.
  • Popular products: Popular items are now included within top search results to provide better targeted product sets.
  • Auto-filters: When popular product types are searched, search filters will appear on the top left of the page and bring back exact matches on product sets. For example, a search for Kohler kitchen faucet will filter using 'Kohler' and 'kitchen faucet'. 
  • Avoid extra descriptors in your search if you aren't getting the results you need. For example, if you need to order a Long Nose Pipe Cutter, try searching for "Pipe Cutter", which will likely provide you with more results relevant to your search. 
  • Search Type-Ahead: Before pressing enter in the search box, look through the list that drops down from the search bar. This will list out product categories and/or individual products that are relevant to your search. 
  • Use Filters: If you're having trouble finding a specific product from your search results, make sure to use the filters on the left navigation to narrow down the results.
