The app doesn't function properly, a lot of problems happening, some products in the store are not even shown in the search result page (looks like the product doesn't exist in the store, this is the worst part). When I contacted them, experienced a very slow response, very disappointed. I have paid for the yearly plan, now stuck in it, it ruined my store. I demand a full refund immediately, please.

App has broken on our live website, very slow response time via email. No live chat service. Very disappointed, as the app had been performing really well. No live support and huge loss in revenue from our website not showing any products

Not usable for complex product names + Slow support: The support takes forever and they answer with a default message stating that they have an above average number of requests to excuse themselves for it. Its been this way for a year now and it usually takes around 4-5 days to receive a reply, which is unacceptable given the size of our business.
Hello, We appreciate your willingness to share your feedback. We are sorry we left such an unpleasant impression! We indeed used to have problems with a hugh volumes of requests. So, we understand your frustration. Luckily, now we respond much faster and we plan to keep it up. As we see, your recent emails were addressed in time.

Worst app of the app store This app will destroy your website. I installed it, immediately my website gone from 3s speed to 7, it brokes the minify job that has been done to improve the website. This is by far the worst experience i ever have with a shopify app, and of course delete the app doesn't fix their mess, i will have to pay an other speed optimisation and hope bold don't make me pay fees to fix the coding too, i am already about 100$ lost here. Awful!

we cannot use any product app on our store because if we do, customers cannot checkout. It has been over 1 month we have been asking for help with searchanise, it takes 2-3 days to get a response, when we reply its then another 2-3 days. We are having a lot of issues. Becareful which filter app you choose because it is a big job to change over. Not happy at all the worst app!!!!!!!!!! there is a new issue every single week. i hate it so much. Edited to add, I replied to every email. You just kept saying you couldnt help. I am still having the same issues and still no help.
Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We apologize for making you wait for a solution. At the time, we had far less people in our team and we're sorry it made your experience so unpleasant! Nowadays, our team is much bigger so responses are usually sent in time. As we see, we tried to investigate the checkout issue, yet then we asked for a few questions, we didn't receieve a reply. Of course, we hope the issue isn't present no longer, yet if it is, feel free to contact us via email so we can help. Best wishes, Searchanise team

I have been using this app for a while. A load of configurable features but very unreliable indexing. All of a sudden collections stop showing products that hundreds of products. No way someone can run a store with this App. Complete waste of time and money. And not a very good customer service either, If I am facing major issues one more time, I will cancel, raise it with Shopify and do whatever needed to get my money back. Please stay away from this App.
We are really sorry to hear that you have faced such issues with indexation. The team is investigating this problem and will try to find the best solution to fix it. We will keep following up with you via our current email thread.

We used this app for almost 3 years and now they are trying to charge us 5 times more per monthly fee. We have found other search apps which charge a fraction of the cost and will be moving our business to another app. I would not recommend this app if you are planning to grow your business and this app will try to squeeze as much out of you as they can. They have tried to threaten us a few times with price increases. We also had horrible customer service from their rep Olga Skalkina. I guess its time for us to go to another 5 star rated search app, luckily there are many on the shopify app store!
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are sorry to hear you have felt threatened, however it seems what you are describing were the two standard notification letters in regards to the number of products in your store exceeding the limits of the subscription plan. When you first signed up with our service in June 2018, the number of products in your store was within the 20-50 thousand range. At the moment this number is 1 722 493. For the past 6 months, we have been negotiating the cost of the service plan for you. However, despite such significant growth of your store inventory, you were not ready to pay for a corresponding subscription. The whole time we had to increase the use of our resources to ensure the appropriate quality of search in your store. We are very sorry to know that rather than arranging to pay the correct price you prefer manipulating with a negative review.

AVOID!!! Highly misleading pricing. They do offer you a 30 day trial, but then try to charge you $30 instead of the price they show in the shopify app store. When contacted they suddenly show you a completely different pricing plan, which is not displayed anywhere in the appstore, and offer you a special yearly discount of 30% (which they offer anybody who pays yearly).
Hi, We are sorry to know you got confused by our pricing. Let me explain the situation in detail. You have a Shopify Plus store. Searchanise offers specific pricing for Shopify Plus stores which can be found here on our site: https://start.searchanise.com/shopify_plus/ The difference in pricing is noted on the Shopify App Store page of Searchanise: http://joxi.net/bmo4eVXt3MWPx2 and on the Shopify landing page on our site: http://joxi.ru/8AneYVnszqVPD2 The correct price which suits your store is shown to you in the Searchanise admin panel right from the moment you install the app. The discount was offered to you because we understood that you may have got confused and decided to meet you halfway. Please note that we offered you a monthly discount active for 12 months. It is not the same discount which is offered for one-time yearly payment. Hope this makes the situation clearer. We are willing to make our pricing policy as transparent as it can be. We will be glad to consider any suggestions from you on how we can improve our pricing pages so that they did not get you confused. Thank you for your feedback. Angelina Searchanise Team

The app never worked well on mobile, buggy and sometimes simply wouldn't work. Liked most of the other features of the app and it worked well but this bug caused us to have to find another solution.
Hello, We appreciate your will to share your feedback with us and, of course, we are sorry to see you faced issues on mobile. We couldn't seem to find your email about this problem, yet if it's still present in your store, feel free to let us know via email. It will be a pleasure to help you! Best wishes, Searchanise team

worked for a few days but have stopped working since. i have a big store, not sure if that's the reason. Negatives: 1) My prices stopped showing and while support has been replying me daily, they couldnt solve the problem so they escalated it to the developer. Been 2 days, still no progress. I have a live store, what should i do? 2) Since im in their trial version, they asked me to upgrade. In their email, it is stated that if i upgrade within the next 2 days, i will get a 30% discount. The truth is, I can upgrade by the end of the trial to get the same discount, which is published on your app page: http://start.searchanise.com/shopify/?utm_source=shopify&utm_medium=app_page&utm_campaign=shopify%20app So i'm not entirely sure if i getting a good deal just by upgrading in the next 2 days Pros: It's has fast search, but not faster than instant search+ or even comes close. Having said that, the cost is no where near instant search+ also. Bang for your buck if you need a custom search solution but cannot afford other premium solutions like instant search+ / agolia That being said, this an honest review and not out to bash the app developers or the people who sent their email promotions. The app did breakdown half way through trial and getting no solution in 2 days on a live store is not acceptable. Who knows what will happen next if i choose to subscribe? If a solution can be delivered, I will adjust the ratings. Also, don't sed out emails like that mentioned in point 2. I really though i was getting a great deal until i found out that the price is the same. Bad move man.
Hello, Thank you very much for a detailed feedback. We are sorry to see you had issues with several aspects with our app. Your frustration is totally understandable, especially when it comes to prices not being shown. As a rule, we deal with such issues as fast as we can. Since the time when you had left the review, our team grew so now we are capable to solve our clients problems faster. You also mentioned the 30% offer that didn't seem that profitable. We are sorry to leave a wrong impression, yet the 30% deal we offer for 2 days works for months subscriptions when the discount we have on our app page works for yearly subscriptions only. We know you stopped using our app due to the issues you faced. Still, we'd like to say that we are always glad to see you back so you can have a better experience with Smart Search & Filter. All the best, Searchanise team

This app has been updated in July 2022. It is now a complete mess. We have it pulling items from one of our websites and putting them on another, which the shouldn't be on. Some collections are showing all stock instead of the collection. Support is hopeless. We loved this app - I dont understand why IT people have to mess with stuff that isnt broken. I cannot say enough good things about this app. It fixed issues we didnt even know we had. Makes our website so much better, and for such a low fee. Very excited about this product. Update: Still loving it in 2022.

We've had serious issues with this app.. Not thrilled with the customer service, either. There are a lot of other search apps, so you should keep on searching, too...
Hi, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to know you are disappointed with our service. We confirm we did not change our pricing. As far as I can see, your subscription was suspended because of the payment failure. We sent several email notifications before your Searchanise subscription was suspended. We are really willing to figure out why your emails were left without reply. Our duty is to provide assistance promptly to all the customers with any requests. I've sent an email to you where I ask for additional details so that we could sort the issue out. Hope we'll clarify the situation and you'll change your opinion on our service. We really appreciate you chose Searchanise and keep using it. Looking forward to your reply. Angelina Searchanise Team
