Enhanced Intent Search module
The Intent Search module now includes new capabilities to improve category discovery and user navigation.
- Category filtering: Detects and suggests the most relevant categories based on user search intent.

This enhancement enables the search system to interpret user intent and guide customers automatically to the most relevant category pages, improving browsing efficiency and overall search experience:
Dynamic property accessor. Platform 3.909.0
A new DynamicPropertyAccessor has been introduced to simplify working with Dynamic Properties and enhance developer experience. It allows easy access to dynamic properties directly through entities, supports full REST API operations (GET, PUT, POST, PATCH), and provides tools to retrieve Dynamic Properties metadata.
This feature streamlines reading, updating, and extending entities without database modifications, improving flexibility and consistency across backend and API integrations.
Example. Accessing a short text dynamic property “Age”:
var entity = new EntityWithDynamicProperties(); // Class that inherited from IHasDynamicProperties
dynamic properties = new DynamicPropertyAccessor(entity);
properties.Age = "New Value"; // Set value to dynamic properties named `Age`
string age = properties.Age; // Get value to dynamic properties named `Age`
Enhanced dropdown search experience. Platform 3.905.0
We’ve improved dropdown menus with clearer search functionality to make them easier to use:
- Added a placeholder in the search input to indicate it’s searchable.
- Introduced an x-clear button to quickly reset the search field.
- Enabled hover highlighting on dropdown items for smoother navigation.
