Searching for items in Pepper is designed to be fast, flexible, and simple to navigate. The search page provides tools that help locate the right products with minimal effort.
Starting a Search
Any search bar in Pepper can be used to look up items, and will provide you with the same results. Entering a keyword, item name, brand, or category directs the user to the main search results page, where results can be refined further.
Using Filters to Narrow Results
The search page includes a set of filters on the left side that help focus on the most relevant items. These filters update automatically based on the results of the search.
Common filter types include:

Searching Offline
When offline, Pepper automatically switches to basic text filtering within the order guide so item lookup remains possible without connection.
Tips for Better Searching

Combine search terms, such as “organic salsa” or “gluten free bread,” for more targeted matches.
Use the order guide filter to quickly locate frequently purchased items.
Review item badges to find promos, new items, or other special tags.
