Auto parts
Tolra matches OEM numbers in any format and searches the fitment you already write in your titles and metafields. It does not come with a vehicle database.
5Q0 698 151, 5Q0-698-151 and 5Q0698151 are one number. Plain search sees three different strings.
OEM numbers are matched with spaces and dashes ignored, as one number, so the right part comes first.
Try it: 5Q0 698 151 →Shoppers type brake pads golf 7 front or corolla oil filter. The words are in your title, but not in that order.
All words are matched across the title, tags and metafields, in any order. Fitment you write in your listings is searchable.
Try it: corolla oil filter →Wiper blades are listed as 600 mm; shoppers type 60 cm.
Lengths in cm and m are compared in mm, so wiper 60 cm finds 600 mm blades.
An aftermarket filter replaces six OEM numbers from three car makers.
List them in a metafield or upload them as other part numbers (Growth plan and up). Each number finds the part, labelled "Matches X" or "Replaces X".
These run against the sample catalog on this site.

How Tolra Search looks in a store and in your Shopify admin. Products and numbers are examples.
With or without dashes, dots or spaces. The SKU, the maker's number and the numbers it replaces all lead to the same product.
There is no vehicle database and no year, make and model selector. If your store depends on a full fitment lookup across thousands of vehicles, you need a fitment data source; Tolra can sit next to it as the text and part number search.
No. Tolra searches the fitment data you supply in titles, tags, descriptions and metafields. It does not include a vehicle database or a year/make/model widget.
No. AI only suggests values that are written in your listing, such as a compatible model in the title. It never guesses fitment, and you approve every suggestion.
Tolra works well for auto parts stores that already have their fitment in their product data. Stores that need a full vehicle lookup usually need a fitment database, which Tolra does not provide.
