Shopify Search & Discovery
All reviews
Not suitable for large shops. 200 filter values are possible, but only 100 are displayed. I don't understand why. Conclusion: a shop with more than 100 brands, for example, will not be able to use the filter effectively. Addendum: Maybe the product is called A8000, a search for 8000 will not find this product. Such a search is completely useless.
doesn't work with size variants
Lot's of errors in the search. Not organized if you have a lot of products. Messy looking. You have to scroll & scroll to view the searches. Does not work with keywords.
Ich kann keine maximalen Werte für die Filter hinzufügen. Ich erstelle einen großen Webshop und habe 75 Werte für die Filter, aber ich kann nur 25 hinzufügen.
The app has a bug that doesn't work with recommended products on product pages.
How can Shopify have a native search app that doesn't allow customers to search for items via their SKU?? All of our products have specific SKU names that are intrinsic for liaising with customers. I now have 3 Shopify stores that are causing so much frustration - a massive problem that could be solved with one simple fix. Shopify, surely its time to fix this?!
The Availability filter does not work. For whatever reason, it displays the total product count instead of the inventory count AND it's not even recognizing variants, so it's completely useless. Outside of this app, the inventory counter is displaying correctly on the product page so obviously the problem is with this app. This availability filter code is no good. Hand coded filters used to work on Shopify but because of this newfangled junk, they don't anymore. This app has to be enabled for ANY filter to display - so you can get hand coded filters to show up, but they will only display error msgs, because Shopify 2.0 only accepts filter content from apps. I'm not a fan of chunking out useful features into a bunch of add-ons. UPDATE: found a source of incompatibility between this app and Shopify 2.0 free themes V 15.0. In facets.liquid, ALL filters print value.count. Value count = the number of product LISTINGS. This is only relevant to count by category, like qty of products that are t-shirts, qty of products that are hats, etc. This is entirely useless for inventory. I've managed to decouple the Availability filter from this irrelevant nonsense by using {%- if value.label contains "stock" -%}. However I've tried literally THOUSANDS of call combinations, logic, and assigns within this if clause and cannot get it to print the actual in stock inventory. I've been able to get it to print a fixed qty, or a (0), or a total product listings count, or even the total value of products in the cart. Anything but the inventory qty seems to work here. Please reply with the exact code needed for this to function properly. Thanks!!!! UPDATE #2: Thank you for responding but, that's honestly not an adequate solution whatsoever. As you pointed out, IT WILL NOT SUM, which means that will return a string of values that will read for example: "(4)(45)(9)(3)(1)(1)(3)(6)(2)(1)....etc." It could break the screen border with this nonsense. And it looks janky, which will bounce customers off the site instantly. AND your suggestion to do this as another layer of app bloat on the app sandwich is perfectly absurd. Let me know when Shopify is ready to give serious support and tell me how to CODE a reasonable solution into facets.liquid and it's associated .js and .css theme files. It's an embarrassing oversight on the part of Shopify that there is no availability filter that shows in stock goods vs out of stock goods (regardless if the out of stock can still be custom ordered). Site visitors should be able to easily filter products on this basis because it affects how quickly the product will be shipped. Is this really a condition Shopify wants it's sites to perform poorly on? Isn't that kind of contrary to the whole mission of good ui > good seo > good revenue? You have a feature that is not working as advertised. Please fix it or tell me how I can fix it IN THE THEME FILES WITH CODE. Don't come at me with any more apps, alternatives, or substitutes. I assure you I am either already employing them or have tested them and found them inadequate. UPDATE: Wait wait wait wait. So now I'm noticing that this app doesn't even use canonical URLS in the recommended products gallery! Are ya'll joking with this entire thing or what?
The availability filter shows a count of products that have variants available for purchase. As you correctly mention, this is not the inventory count you see in the admin. I assume you are looking for an inventory-based filter because you have your variants set to "continue selling when out of stock", which makes them all purchasable, even with zero inventory. If you're comfortable with coding, a possible solution is to create a custom variant metafield and use an app like Shopify Flow to update it whenever the variant inventory changes. i.e. Create a "In-stock" variant metafield of type boolean (true/false) for each variant, and update it whenever inventory is above 0. The storefront filter won't give you a total inventory count, but will allow shoppers to filter out variants without inventory.
DESTROYED my meta-fields for my products. Want to add a weight for calculating shipping? DON'T USE THIS APP. It left me with four USELESS meta-fields instead of my product weight and size. UNBELIEVABLE.
Update: The only support received by now has been the reply here, yet is a very generic answer, which doesn't resolve the issue. To their reply: I know where to find the "Out of Stock Products" setting, which is set to show only products "In Stock" by default; yet, ALL (In+Out of Stock) products show up. The issue persists, and worst, if I delete the app, it won't go away from my website. So I cannot move on to another reliable option in the market. Original Review: I like the app, but I give it a 2 star rating as I couldn't get any support to ask some relatively basic questions about different features that are not working (like the setting for "Out Of Stock Products" which I want to show "Not At All", yet, they show on the site.) They replied: "The "Out of Stock Products" setting is under the "Search relevance" section of the app settings. It controls how out of stock products and variants are handled in search results. This setting does not affect how out of stock products and variants are handled on Collection pages. You can read a bit more about this setting in the public Help docs at https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/search-and-discovery/search#search-result-types"

so far this does not work - trying to do a simple filter for a template for birthstone by month based on tags - it pulls in all these random tags and the app does not show ability to save if you update the filter? glitchy. will update this review if resolved.
Because you do not want to filter by all the tags in your store, we recommend setting up a custom filter with metafields. You can read more about this in the Help center here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/search-and-discovery/filters#custom-filters This will allow you to make specific filters for birthstones and control what values are shown to online shoppers.
No support as such, only bla-bla-bla, generic "kind" replies and RTFM in the best case scenario. No filtering by tags is implemented in the right way - its just not working, guys, nope. Why on EARTH do you have this option for!??? Just unpublish the thing! Take the app away from the Marketplace! I regret I wasted so much of my lifetime trying to troubleshoot&fix this application!
This app does not load on my pc.
Sorry to hear you're having issues accessing the app. If you're not the store owner, it may be because Staff permissions are not set to allow you to access all screens of the app. You can see in the Help documentation which permissions are required. https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/search-and-discovery#staff-permissions If the problem persists, we suggest contacting Shopify's support team with details on what browser you're using and any errors messages you might be seeing.
Ne se désinstalle pas complètement provoque des bug et empêche l'installation d'autres applications de filtres. Fonctions très limitée et affichage non professionnel
Won't let you delete anything.
Works well for small shops. I have a collection with 20K+ products, and this is useless.
This is a pathetic excuse for an app that is supposed to provide basic functionality. It's so limited that it's close to useless.
website not working right after installing this app. not compatible.
Sorry to hear you're having trouble with your site. The Search & Discovery app customizes native features of Shopify's platform, for example, choosing your collection filters or product recommendations. It does not inject any custom elements or scripts into your website to display these though, that is required of the theme. So there wouldn't be a change in behaviour post-install. We recommend contacting your online store theme's developer for support to see if it's having issues working with native Shopify APIs and features. Alternatively, you could contact the developers of any recently installed apps to see if they run custom scripts on your site that may have caused this issue.
cette application est trop limitée et trop statique elle ne permet pas de mettre des collections ou des catégories dans les produits associés. c'est pauvre.
When filtering by size on a collection page, it shows any products that have ever had that size in stock, whether they are currently in stock or not unless a user has also selected an availability filter. This is not a great customer experience. As filters on most platforms work, it should only show products with that size variant in stock. This seems to be basic functionality that isn't working.
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.
