Industrial MRO and B2B wholesale
Bearings, seals, hydraulics, motors and spares, often from several makers. Your buyers search with the number on the old part or a size from a drawing. Tolra matches both.
The catalog says 6206.ZZC.3. The buyer types 6206ZZC3 or 6206 zz c3 and gets nothing, or a page of every 6206.
Dashes, dots and spaces are ignored when matching SKUs and maker numbers. The exact part comes first and is marked as a part number match.
Try it: 6206ZZC3 →A maintenance tech knows the bearing is 20 x 47 x 14. They type bearing 20x47x14 or 20 x 47 x 14, not the series number.
Sizes are read as one measurement, however they are written. A size with the unit left out still matches, and o-ring 20mm finds 20 x 3 mm rings.
A buyer has another maker's number, or an old one. Your product page shows your own SKU.
Upload other part numbers as a CSV (Growth plan and up): your SKU and the other number. Results show the match as "Matches X" or "Replaces X".
A seal kit comes in 30 sizes as variants. The buyer searches one variant's SKU and lands on the first size.
When a search matches a variant SKU, the result shows that variant's image, price, stock and link.
Bearings need bore and seal type, hydraulic fittings need thread, motors need power. A fixed filter list fits none of them.
Filters are picked from the products that matched the search. On Growth and Pro, AI can suggest values like size, thread or seal type from your product text, and you approve them.
A plant buyer reorders the same 20 lines every month and adds them one search at a time.
Quick order (Pro plan): the buyer pastes lines of part number and quantity, checks the matches and adds everything to the cart.
These run against the sample catalog on this site.

For comparison, a simple text match on the same sample finds nothing.
Sample catalog of 40 products with made-up brands. The ranking here is a simplified version of the app's; part numbers and sizes are read by the same code.
How Tolra Search looks in a store and in your Shopify admin. Products and numbers are examples.
Filters come from the products that matched. Sizes become min–max ranges in the unit your catalog uses; the rest are checkboxes. The list view shows specs in columns you can sort.
Most MRO catalogs grew over years. Titles mix series numbers, sizes and grades, the maker’s number sits in a metafield or the description, and nobody has time to rewrite 20,000 products.
Tolra works with that. When your products are copied in, each one gets:
6207-2RS, 6207 2RS and 62072RS are the same code. SKUs, variant SKUs, maker numbers and OEM numbers all count.35x72x17 mm is stored as one size, and also as each part of it, so a search for 35x72x17 or bearing 72mm can find it.At search time the query is read the same way. An exact part number match always ranks first. Everything else is ranked by how well it matches.
Tolra does not invent data. If a size or a compatible model is not written anywhere in the product, it cannot be searched. The search report shows which searches found nothing, so you can see what is missing.
No. Tolra reads your titles, SKUs, vendors, tags and metafields as they are. Part numbers and sizes in titles are found without extra fields. AI suggestions (Growth plan and up) can add structure later, and you approve each value.
Yes. SKUs, maker numbers (MPN), OEM numbers and other part numbers you upload (Growth plan and up) all lead to the same product, with or without dashes and spaces.
On paid plans, search keeps working: Tolra never switches search off because a limit was reached, and you see a notice in the admin with the plan that fits. On Free, a store over the limit gets 14 days with all products, then its own search takes over until it upgrades.
