10.12.01 Resources (Release Date: 6/10/25 )
Miva Merchant updates include code and database changes that can take a short time to process. While we thoroughly test all updates to ensure they will not affect up-time it is still a good precaution to run updates outside of peak hours.
Miva's AI Product Search initially used a single setting to decide how similar search results had to be to show up. This worked okay for some searches, but not for all.
As the feature rolled out to real stores, the team noticed two big issues. If a search was:
To fix this, instead of using just one rule, the team created a smart 3-level system based on how good the first search result is:
This flexible approach gives better results across different kinds of searches, especially when shoppers use filters (facets) to narrow things down further. It also helps handle bad or misspelled searches by still showing something potentially helpful.

The Combination Facets module allows multiple values—like Year, Make, and Model—to work together as a single filter. This is especially useful in things like parts finders, where users need to search by a specific combination.
Currently, when using the Combination Facet Flex Component, each dropdown (like Year) is always sorted in ascending order. That means users have to scroll from the earliest year—like 1940—to find newer options, which isn't ideal.
To fix this without needing custom development, Miva added a sorting option for each field directly within the module. This lets you easily switch the sort order—for example, from newest to oldest—right from the admin.
Previously, there was no way to tell when an admin user account was created or when it was last used. This made it hard for store admins to know if an account is still active or can be deleted—especially on teams with lots of staff or developers.
Miva now tracks when each admin user was created and last logged in. This info is shown in the admin area so it's easier to spot inactive accounts and clean them up. It's a simple update that helps improve overall security.
A security upgrade to the Miva admin will help prevent long-unused admin accounts from becoming targets for attackers. Previously, admin accounts don't lock out automatically after a period of inactivity, which can be risky if those accounts belong to former developers or staff whose credentials might have been saved or compromised.
To address this, Miva is introducing a setting called "Revalidate Browsers When Password Older Than [X] Days" (defaulting to 180 days). If someone logs in with an old password, they'll be required to reverify their browser through email and change their password before gaining access. This ensures the person logging in still controls the email linked to the account, adding a critical layer of protection.
This update avoids full account lockouts that could burden support teams, and instead focuses on increasing the security of dormant accounts without affecting active users. It builds on existing password change policies and browser verification, making the system more secure with minimal disruption.
