    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing a custom search based on search input entered by a user, shopping history of the user, retailer identifications, and products to be promoted by the retailers. The system may leverage a combination of retailer and user information to customize search results for the user. The system facilitates a search platform where retailers may provide items being promoted such that promoted items may feature prominently in search results and/or be included in search results while non-promoted items may be featured less prominently n search results and/or be excluded from the search results. In this manner, the retailer may more successfully drive sales of promoted items. Users may benefit from use of the search platform by receiving relevant results that are customized for the user and include items that are being promoted so that the user is made aware of relevant promotions.
