I tried 3 browsers but I cannot open the app. Firefox gives an error, Safari and Chrome just don't load anything.
Hello! We are truly sorry to see that you faced an issue with opening our app! We are eager to properly investigate it with our developers to find a solution for you. That's why we reached out to you a couple of ways ago from our [email protected] email address. We will be waiting for your reply since we want to make sure you can use Searchanise with no issues. Thank you! Best wishes, Searchanise team

Not working on Black Friday!
Hello, We are very sorry to see that our recent issue affected your store, especially on Black Friday! As we analyzed, our developers fixed it within an hour. Nevertheless, we have carefully examined the situation. It appears that we had a partial degradation of our search functionality which affected 7-10% of our clients. When it comes to the Overall uptime of our search, this year it was 99,975%. Additionally, we’d like to note that when our search is not available, the Shopify default search should be active instead. When it comes to our Filters on collections feature, we currently have a so-called fallback mechanism for that: when our widget doesn’t load on a collection, a redirect to the default Search results page happens where your customers can see products found for the query of the collection title. E.g. if a collection is called Sillas, your customers will be redirected to the Search results page with all the products found for the ‘Sillas’ search term. If this mechanism didn’t work for you during our issue, please let us know, and we will gladly investigate it. Still, we understand that you happened to be one of the clients affected by this issue. Therefore, we'd like to let you know that our development team already made significant improvements to our system by expanding our server resources. We also have more plans for improvement. For instance, we're considering options to make our monitoring system more advanced. It will be a complex task and we're ready to give it our time and attention so any potential issues are detected and fixed faster. As we can see, you have already removed our app. We're very sorry to see it! If you ever decide to give us another chance, feel free to contact us at [email protected] with any questions or queries. We will be there for you! Best wishes, Searchanise team

If you want a collection search filter do not use this app. It replaced your collection search with its own app, and you cannot change anything about it. You get stuck with small text, 3 columns, and a terrible mobile layout. If you are looking for collection search filters, find another app.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Indeed, the "Filters on Collections" feature does replace the Product grid on collection pages. We're sorry to see it disappointed you! Nevertheless, it can be customized in the Searchanise admin panel, where you can change the template, adjust the number of product columns, and apply Custom CSS for more detailed customization. We’re here to help with any customization needs you may have. Please feel free to reach out to our support team for assistance. Best regards, Searchanise team

It's overall a good app, but it has no defense against internal site search spam. We used to do merchandising through the app, like redirecting some terms, adding synonyms for common misspellings, etc. That was doable with 5-50 searches a day. The analytics were great for identifying opportunities to improve. However, a few months ago, we started getting 2,000-7,000 searches per day, virtually all automated internal site search spam. This made the analytics useless, and we've been unable to find any solution to block these visits. Shopify is unable to help, apps that block visitors do not help, and Searchanise has no spam defenses at all. At this point, the app is still good as a search app, but we're unable to keep refining it, so we'll likely be moving on from this app to something not so easily exploitable.
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to see that you're mostly enjoying our app. As for the spam-defending situation, we understand your concerns. Spam attacks can harm the Analytics reports and also the search experience. We're sorry it happened to your store! One of our agents recently got back to you via email with a suggestion we can offer in this case. We hope the IP blocking setting helps in some way. Please come back to us via email at [email protected] if you have any other ideas or if you have any new questions. We are always glad to help! Best wishes, Searchanise team

Seems like a great search and filter app. But the app kept freezing, making it impossible to actually configure it. Tried multiple things to resolve the issue, nothing worked. Maybe you'll have better luck, but out of 30+ apps we've used in the store, this is the only one that kept freezing up every single time.
Hi there, Thank you for your review. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and understand your frustration with the ongoing issue. We would like to make things right and would be grateful if you could give us another shot. Together, we can resolve the issue with the admin panel and ensure that you have a better experience with our app. We hope that this will help you form a better impression of our app and our team. If you are interested in our offer, please let us know. We will do everything we can to identify the root of the problem and fix it. All the best, Searchanise team

As a store owner there's only two things I request of every app. Firstly, it must work for my customer. Thankfully, this one seems like it would once you set it up right. Secondly, it's features must work on the back-end. This is where this product fails. The CSV import for synonyms is utterly broken, it can't even import files that it creates itself if you just change one character. Lastly, and this one is big - The price listed needs to be the price charged. After hours of research I decided on this app BECAUSE of their pricing. On their website there's a 3000-product plan for $19 a month. In the app I'm being forced to sign up for the 5000-product plan for $27 a month. Unfortunately I've wasted hours of my time trying to get the csv import to work only to find out while looking for documentation that I'm getting screwed into paying almost double. Uninstalling this.
Hello, Thank you for taking time to share your feedback with us! We are sincerely sorry to see you unistalled our app and faced very frustrating issues with CSV import. Of course, it's all up to you, yet we'd still like to offer you help with CSV. Our support team already contacted you via email with more details. In that message, we also shared more details on the pricing situation. If you decide to give us another shot, feel free to respond to the email we sent. We will gladly continue helping you. Best wishes, Searchanise team

The app itself seems nice and the functionalities are well thought of. Good job on the developers side. However, the customer service is absolutely embarassing. I asked two questions about bugs that were happening after the installations, the next day I received an answer that was just telling me to check again. I have never received an answer from support that showed so much desinterest, especially with a new potential customer. Shame on calling that an actualy support. If this is what you get during trial period, what on earth would it be like when you already are paying?
Hello, Thank you for leaving your feedback for us. We are really sorry that you were disappointed in our customer service. We asked you to check the settings because such kind of issues are mostly caused by an incorrect configuration of the settings in the app. We have sent you a detailed reply about the issues you mentioned in the current email thread. We will be glad to receive your response to our message. All the best, Searchanise team

I'm not sure why only one product shows up as available for every product, have emailed videos to get help, but no one has actually looked into the issue or helped me figure it out so it is usable
Hi, we are really sorry to hear that you have faced the issue with our app. As far as I see, we have provided a solution to the issue in the current email thread. Please apply it and let us know how it worked for your store. Searchanise team

There are so many options in this app but without enough documentation you end up spending days upon days trying to figure it all out. I want the search results to display best selling but it continues to default to featured no matter how many times i set it. The other thing is the grid continues to remain at two columns regardless of what I change. I'm now trying to remove the app but the search results disappear whenever I attempt to remove it. Beware of this app unless you have a lot of time for trial and error.
Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to see you disappointed in our app! I should say we indeed had some problems with our documentation previously, yet we updated it so our clients can find the needed information. You can check it out yourself or reach out to us. We also see that the column issue was raised by you via email and we tried to help, yet we received no response from you. If you still experience such issues, we will be more than happy to assist. Just let us know! Best wishes, Searchanise team

The customer service is not as good as before. Still awaiting for the reply of our questions sent a week ago.

They write one price on this page, but another on their own website. And then this is not so simple to use as expected. Less user friendly.

Bedienung und Umfang komplizierter geworden..... Leider durch Preiserhöhung nicht mehr interessant, Alternativen gibts auch viel günstiger..... + Preis- Leistung war früher viel besser.....

Looks like a good app 2 weeks in. Boolean search doesn't work, although the Seachanize team showed me pretty quickly a way around my issue. Other than that it has been smooth sailing. - update The app has crapped out. Doesn't load in shopify so I can't make changes to the core app. The search bar still works but is slow to load on the homepage. Takes around 30 seconds, but by then most people have already tried a search and are disappointed. Have tried communicating with support but emailing back and forth doesn't get me very far and it appears they have a hard time understanding my problem.
