Customer SUpport was friendly when i ask them following: "The Problem is thet when my Costumers choose for example the size XL in the Filtersection, it's also showing all the Products wich have the XL as a variant, even if the XL for the specific Product is sold out.... That makes absoluetely no sense to me... Is there any way to solve this? " The answer: "So Selina, it is currently expected behaviour that the size option will still show up in filters when the variant is out of stock. This is a current restriction when using the Search and Discovery app. You are welcome to try other apps for collection filtering, or alternatively, you can try out apps that hide sold out variants from the store." This App is absolutely useless without this feauture.... why even bothering to put such an app on the marketplace? It seems like Shopify makes their Apps not good enough just to myke us pay for paid Apps.... ??? Sorry, no othe way i can explain this to me. A proper filter function is crucial for allmost every shop.... Shopify still can't even add such a basic function that is working, but prices just went up. i am on Shopify for some years and i was expecting better... Also the URLs that the app i generating are very ugly: https://www.exampledomain.ch/collections/kleidung?filter.v.price.gte=&filter.v.price.lte=&filter.v.option.gr%C3%B6%C3%9Fe=XL&sort_by=created-descending
Hi there, apologies for the confusion as you can definitely filter out sold out variants. If you add the Availability filter to your store, which is a standard filter available to all shops, it will allow shoppers to filter out sold out variants when combined with your Size filter. I can see from the URL example you gave, the variant availability filter isn't being applied (filter.v.availability=1) More information about standard filters: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/search-and-discovery/filters#filter-types

Should not need availability as an extra filter! If you go to a collection page and filter products like clothes by size, ONLY products in stock should show. Adding an extra availability filter just adds confusion and is very bad UX. OK if you want to show out of stock products this could be a backend option, but as standard the app should only filter in stock items.
Hi there; you can now control the display of out of stock product variants from the app's settings :) In the Settings screen, there is an "Out of stock products" section where you can choose to not show items in search results, which also applies to filtered views. You can find more information in the Help Center documentation https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/search-and-discovery/search#search-result-types

When adding products under 'Edit product recommendations' section I would like filter options. At present search results include archived and draft products without any indication of status. It's only once they're added that a you're warned eg. "Archived products won't appear as a recommendation". This makes it very slow to find relivant products.

The search & Discovery app is pretty easy to set up and navigate. User friendly making it easy to set up the navigation and filtering options. I like the product recommendation segment that allows you to select products as recommended add on. The reporting/analytics is also a great feature allowing you to adjust the recommendation options as needed.

This app is straightforward to set up and use. Easily add additional product recommendations to product pages.

Great app a total workhorse. Just do not change your conditions or you have to start all over again. Titles are fine tho!

It doesn't even load any more after the recent updates!! What is wrong? It used to work well. Now I cannot even open the app page! I uninstalled and installed again to no avail.

This app doesn't delete old Color variants. More empathically, I deleted all Color variants from all products, and when I tried to create a new Color filter with new Color variants, the old colors keep pre-populating., colors that don't exist anymore. It appears that the old Color variants are still cached somewhere in the app. In addition to that, the Color filter appears to be buggy in that some Color variants may appear (but there are not visible, only you can see the name if hover over the Color filter area. Very weird and strange behavior from this app.
Hi there, we were able to track down what was causing this bug for some shops and it is now resolved. Thank you for taking the time to review the app :)

I wrote a review earlier with a rating of 3 because I had thought the app to be too limited. However, I came back to fix that rating to a five. This app. is a lot better than I had originally thought. The only pointer I would give to anyone who is having issues is; to make sure that your product types are filled out, color, sizes, etc. on your end. Once you do that, this app. will work smoothly like butter!
Thanks for the review - we're glad to hear you're finding the latest updates useful to your business :)

Bastante eficiente a experiência com esse app. Nos mostrou uma amplitude de possibilidades a acrescentar em nossa plataforma.

Acho muito interessante e eficiente. Abriria para mais termos de pesquisa, assim como uma opção de filtragem por palavra-chave. Assim conseguimos direcionar ainda mais resultados para pesquisa.

Love it, really liking the simplicity of it. What more can I say, Search analytics are also nice. Thanks Shopify

Love this app for customising recommending products, the filter section needs a lot more customisation for me to be able to consider using it but being able to customise recommended AND matching products has been great for my customers & helping them find what they need visually. The one big downside is the automated recommendations, they make hardly any sense & I can't turn them all off - I have to do it one by one then replace all of them manually, it's taking me 4-6 minutes to do each product & I am dreading having to go through it again when I release a new collection. Great especially for an app I don't need to pay extra money money for, but time consuming
Thank you for the review. Our team is actively working new features for filters, so we hope those will meet your needs in the near future :) For automated recommendations: You can use the Admin's bulk editor to change the "Related products settings" metafield for your products. This should be a lot more efficient for you; more details here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/search-and-discovery/product-recommendations#edit-product-recommendations-in-bulk-with-metafields

Doesn't work for me. Impossible to create a new filter. I try to modify a old filter but it's doesn't work
Hi there, the majority of filter display issues are because the Online Store theme template is improperly coded or modified. We recommend contacting your theme's developer, or with any apps that make changes to your collections or search pages. You can check if it's a theme issue by installing a new version of the Dawn theme (or any free theme) and using the preview/customize feature to see if filters are working as expected. If they do display, that confirms the issue is with the theme code of your published theme, or some app changes. If the issue exists on a new installation of Dawn, feel free to contact Shopify's Support lines. Cheers!

La verdad si se sabe configurar es una herramienta muy poderosa para que el cliente pueda encontrar facilmente su producto.

The app allows you to set filters only for the entire online store and has restrictions for the entire online store. For some businesses, this may be enough, but we sell equipment - our collections have completely different filters and we simply cannot fit into the limit. It would be great to customize filters for each collection. In general, Shopify as a platform has strong limitations with property fields for filters. We could write a json metafield in our products or variants, but the app doesn't support that.
Thank you for your review. We've shared this feature request with the team for future consideration.

The app is awesome for creating filters and recommendations. Only wish there was a way to have the Search & Discovery app for offline products and/or on the Shopify POS.

not able to make the search results page consistent with the rest of the pages so I uninstalled it but the search bar is still there. Can't get rid of it
Hi there, the Search & Discovery app does not make any design changes to your store or control the placement of your search bar. The app allows you to change the native behaviour of Shopify's search, but your published theme controls what your shoppers see. We recommend contacting your theme's developer for the issues you're having with your search page. All the best!
