Shopify Search & Discovery
All reviews
** [Updated Review] I have tested the sorting on our site and it is now sorted based on the order of the metafield values list. I appreciate your team quickly finding and correcting this bug! ** Replying to Shopify Response: (Thank you for your feedback! Metafield definitions have a “Limit to preset choices” feature, where you can predefine which values the metafield can accept and sort them manually using drag and drop. If you use that metafield as a filter, Shopify will apply your “preset choices” ordering to the filter values on your storefront. Head over to your shop settings, and look under “Custom data”, that's where you manage all metafield definitions. Find your “Size” metafield definition, check the box “Limit to preset choices” under “Rules”, and set all your Size values there in the order that you want them to appear on your storefront, including the ones that use a “-” or “/”.) -- I already tried this before making this review. It does not work as your described. I even checked again, after reading your response. This only sorts it when choosing a metafield value for a product, it does not manually sort it in the Shopify Search & Discovery app. Maybe I am missing something? ** -- So far, this app works great, especially for free. But, please add the ability to sort metafield values within the filter section manually. We have a "size" metafield and want it to sort from smallest to largest ascending. It is automatically sorting it by value, but if there is a "-" or "/" for fractions it does not sort correctly. Not sure if it would sort correctly if we used decimal values instead of fractions, but we want to display them as fractions. Manual sorting would be great.
[Update to response] Thank you for raising the problem! It has now been fixed. The values in your Size filter should be in the same order as your preset choices now. [Previous response, still valid.] Metafield definitions have a “Limit to preset choices” feature, where you can predefine which values the metafield can accept and sort them manually using drag and drop. If you use that metafield as a filter, Shopify will apply your “preset choices” ordering to the filter values on your storefront. Head over to your shop settings, and look under “Custom data”, that's where you manage all metafield definitions. Find your “Size” metafield definition, check the box “Limit to preset choices” under “Rules”, and set all your Size values there in the order that you want them to appear on your storefront, including the ones that use a “-” or “/”.
"I highly recommend this searching app to anyone looking for a quick and efficient way to find what they need. The app is user-friendly, with a clean and easy-to-use interface that makes searching a breeze. The app's search algorithm is top-notch, producing relevant results in a matter of seconds. Additionally, the app offers various filters and sorting options to help narrow down search results. Overall, this searching app is a must-have for anyone looking to streamline their search process."
This app will not show the filter options on any search that returns more than 1000 items and will not be displayed on any collection page that has more than 10,000 items. For us this means that most of our big categories can't be searched up by their simple term and get filtering, and our "all products" page will never get filter options because we have categories with several thousand items and we have almost 20,000 item entries in general. The prospect of this app is great because it finally allows customers to filter by stock status and it may work fine for boutique shops that sell a dozen items or so but the inconsistency for bigger inventory shops sucks and Shopify putting seemingly arbitrary limits on when it will function is obnoxious! The filter needs to be extended to work for all results and for all products. If the page can display it or the search can show the result, the filter menu needs to function too. UPDATE: Upon further investigation it turns out the limit on the number of products per collection is 5000, not 10,000, so yeah, it's even worse, losing 1 more star Shopify. I contacted them and basically was given the standard "that's how it is, we'll tell someone about your problem and then promptly do nothing about it" response. I got a reply essentially saying it was a hard limit of the app and they weren't going to do anything about it. if you have large inventories, DO NOT use this app, it's garbage.
extremely bad app. The gui or design for the filters is horrid. Not only is the options limited, it looks bad too
Installed for the product recommendations feature. However you have to set this up manually for each product, there's no way to select more than one product at a time... it is ridiculously time consuming for a large catalog. Fix that and you'd have a good app here.
Thank you for your feedback. You can bulk edit product recommendations in the bulk editor using the relevant metafields - help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/search-and-discovery/product-recommendations#edit-product-recommendations-with-metafields
Not even worth one star at all. This app needs way more functions - its totally useless like this. For example you activate filter by "tags". You can not even edit the filter headline and there are ALL tags displayed in the filter you use on all products. That simply makes no sense at all.
Thank you for your review. Product tag filters are available to all stores as 'default filters' and can be renamed from the language editor of your online store, you can find more information on renaming default filters here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/search-and-discovery/filters. If you do not want to show all the product tags linked to your products as filter options, we recommend filtering by product metafields which you can customize for your store.
Filters are not working. Search is also not working. No support from team. After adding this app, my website search functionality NOT working.
Thank you for the feedback. The issue with products not showing in search results on your store appears to be resolved.
L'app non sembra male è interessante, l'unica cosa è che non vedo i prodotti complementari sul tema Dawn, c'è un modo per inserirli o per questo tema non è disponibile. Cosi 3 stelle, se si possono mettere ne metto 5.
Thank you for your feedback. The theme block for complementary recommendation is available in the latest Dawn release and has to be added in Theme Editor.
This app is the recommended one for my theme, but the filtering really stinks. You can't select two tags to filter and have it show only the products that have both tags. If it weren't for the fact that filtering like that is pretty standard, I would probably figure out a way to live with it. But now I have to go through all the other filtering and menu apps to try and resolve this and hope it works with my theme.
Hi, thank you for your feedback. For more advanced filtering capabilities, we recommend to use structured metafields.
Great way to boost products with larger inventory on Search and to upsell & grow average order value on each sale.
Is it possible to have the featured products also in the basket page ? Thanks a lot for your answer.
You would think that a "Shopify Search & Discovery" app would actually let you add a search text box to use for filtering! :(
The app is able to change the native search behaviours of Shopify, but that does require your Online Store theme to use features. We recommend you contact your theme developer about implementing a search text box that uses the Predictive search and filtering capabilities from Shopify, or checking if they are already available in a more recent version of your theme. All Online Store 2.0 themes from our Theme Store have adopted these features, so you can preview them there.
Great start, but really needs rule based/bulk/import for the complementary products rather than manually adding them to one product at a time.
Customize filters are working well but we can't translate 'Product Type' values displayed on Collection page, with Shopify "Translate & Adapt" app.
Thanks for your review. I'm happy to share that the product team just launched filter translation support. More details here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/search-and-discovery/filters#filter-translations. However, "product type" isn't yet a product field that can be translated, so you could work around that issue by using product metafield values instead
The idea of using meta-tags instead of actual tags is ridiculous. We’ve been using “tags” this whole time and now you guys changed it and it’s a huge step back for a lot of us And ridiculously time-consuming for a lot of us that have to make our products and we don’t have time to sit here and do the same thing twice. What upsets me the most is that I literally bought a theme years ago specifically for its filtering and now it doesn’t even work anymore due to this update. As someone who makes & sells clothing I have to add a color variant to each item for it to filter out in colors even if I only sell one color of that product. Huge thumbs down, absolute waste of time and it’s frustrating that I can’t even get filters to work in my online store like they used to without spending hours redoing some thing I already did.
I enjoyed the easiness in working with this app! I'm not exactly tech savvy but this ticks all that I need to get going.
Is there an add-to-cart button in the works for product recommendations/complementary products? It'd be beneficial to keep customers on one page!
Thank you for your feedback. The availability of this feature depends on the theme you are using. Please contact your theme developer for more information.
A+++, my #1 favorite, most valued app...and the fact that its FREE!? I love the functionality & added features this app provides. I'm so happy to see whatever glitch / update that disallowed control over auto-generated recommendations has not only been fixed, but improved it seems at first glance.
Thank you for your review. The feature you are referring to is still in the app. It is called “Hide auto-generated recommendations” and is a checkbox at the bottom of the “Edit product recommendations” screen.
This has the making of a good app but there are still bugs (on Dawn 2.0 and there is no Complementary Product Block to use that feature) and capabilities (e.g., grouping colors into rainbow) that would be extremely useful
Hi, thank you for your feedback. You have to upgrade to newest Dawn version 7.0 for the Complementary Product Block to be available.
Los productos tienen un precio de miles de pesos, pero la app me toma el "." como una "," entonces lo que vale veinticuatromil pesos, lo muestra como veinticuatro. Hay solucion??
