Find Products Faster with Our Enhanced Search Experience
We've upgraded the Codex search experience to help you find products more quickly and accurately.
The new AI-powered Search is designed to understand what you're looking for, even when you don't enter an exact product code or product name.
What's New?
The new search can now:
- Match partial product codes and keywords
- Suggest products as you type
- Correct common spelling mistakes
- Show related products and alternatives
- Return more relevant results based on search intent
- Display personalised recommendations for logged-in customers
Why Do Search Results Look Different?
The new search engine focuses on relevance rather than exact matching alone.
For example, if you search for 47900, you'll still see that exact product in the results. However, you may also see related products from the same range if the search engine determines they are relevant to your query.

This helps customers discover alternatives and find products more efficiently.
Tips for Better Search Results
✅ Search by product code, keyword, or product description
✅ Use partial codes if you don't know the full item number
✅ Take advantage of autocomplete suggestions
✅ Check related products that may meet your requirements
Logged-In vs Logged-Out Experience
Search results may vary depending on whether you're logged into your account.
Logged-in customers can benefit from personalised search experiences that may include:
- Recently viewed products
- Previous purchases
- Recent searches
This helps surface products that are most relevant to your business.

As part of the first phase of development in our continuous improvement program, we have redesigned our main menu from the ground up. The objective was to make navigating the Codex website easier and more intuitive. Our team utilised data and analytics to design a menu that is both aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly.

Codex has developed a simple and effective dropdown menu system that makes it easier to use and navigate. Categories, subcategories and quick links are now just a hover away. This will reduce the time it takes to find your desired item.

The new menu adapts to your viewing environment, whether it's scrolling down the page or even viewing on a mobile phone.

HOW THE APPROVAL PROCESS WORKS |

Once a user places their order they will be notified that their order has been sent for approval. This user is now a 'requester'

Users can view all Order Approval requests via the Orders widget on their account Dashboard. Simply click the Awaiting Approval tab in Orders to see the status of order requests.

STEP 2: ORDER REQUIRES APPROVAL
An Order Approval email is sent to all approvers selected as an approver for a 'requester'. When an Approver wishes to review an order request they will need to navigate to Orders on their account Dashboard then click the Awaiting Approval tab.
After selecting an order to view, the approver will have an option to 'Accept' or 'Reject' this order. Once an order is approved the status of the order will change to 'In Progress'. This is status will also update for the requester.

- If an approver is not selected or the order is beyond any of the approvers settings of all of the approvers this email is sent to the Account Admin set for the account.
- If an Executive Approver is selected, once the previous approver has approved the order, the executive approver will receive this email.
- Once the order is approved it will immediately be processed.
ORDER NOT APPROVED
In the case that an order is not approved, an update email will be sent only to the requester who's order was rejected
