veganbooze review for Omega Instant Search

May 20, 2021

Ok so we all know Shopify has shockingly bad search functionality for the modern website (which is surprising) So you will need a 3rd party app. I had been looking for a solid search engine for months. I believe I have found it. Not only is this a great search engine but most importantly is the great support and transparency you get from its makers. Thinking outside the box with a positive problem solving attitude. My interactions with the company are hugely positive, with their willingness, help, their patience and understanding as I took the product through its paces. I tried to break it and find fault but was unable to. This shows what a robust product this is. I found it straight forward to install with no real set up issues. I did reach out for advice and Omega was there for me with best practise and ways to solve my perceived issue. It is so important for developers to be available and have a positive attitude towards its customers and potential customers. Other players had great search engines (capability) but no customer support to get you set up using their product. One of the bigger companies was so shockingly bad it beggars belief on how bad they were, this leads to a disservice to their product and this is why I dropped them during the trial period. The 30 day trial period with Omega has been great for me to thoroughly test out the search engine on my shopify site. An important factor with any important app is how good is the support if you need it. I tested that out too. Omega was great. I feel that if and when I need them they will be there for me. They are on my side and want to see me succeed. The pricing is realistic, affordable and fixed by tier, so do not need to worry about being bankrupted by how many searches are being performed on your site. (other players want to bankrupt you with the price per search model). In terms of continuous improvement and a nice to have, it would be great to see, some time in the future, a way to be able to turn off some Metafields to exclude them from your search, just for that extra bit of control. Currently its all metafields or no metafields. This is not a major issue. So I become a Omega Instant Search customer and am happy to support Omega Omega Instant Search If you are looking for a search engine, start with this one and see that it works for you too. (Save you wasting your time searching for the one) Great work by all those at Omega
