# Plugins

The search results can be extended with additional data through registered plugins. Currently, the `products.listable_product_variants` plugin is available, which extends the `extra_data.variants` field with variant product information when configured and active.

**Plugin Behavior:**

* Plugins modify the structure of product data returned in search results
* When the `products.listable_product_variants` plugin is active, variant information is populated in the `extra_data.variants` field
* Plugin configuration determines which variant attributes are included and which product fields are returned for each variant
* Products must be reindexed after plugin configuration changes to reflect the new structure
