Suppliers can be assigned Search Terms that allow them to be returned in searches where the buyer or browser is using the Search bar at the top of the page. Users with the Community or Supplier Administrator role have the ability to add these search terms to supplier profiles.
If a buyer searches for the words 'Printer Paper', Unimarket will return results that include any products that match that search along with any suppliers who have those search terms assigned to them. This means that suppliers who don't have a hosted catalog, therefore no products that would show up in the search, can still be captured.
