Blog Article Filter Search PRO , 84 reviews

This blog filter app is very helpful! Since Shopify doesn’t support any useful way to navigate blogs, I was looking for a solution that would help my customers find the information they needed. I looked at a lot of possible apps, but this was the only app that did what I wanted!

Using this app, I was able to organize my blog articles into “buckets” of the same content topics and then create filters for my users to find the specific information they want in that topic “bucket”. For example, I use topic buckets such as Guides & How-To’s, Holidays, Birthstones… and more. Within each topic, I’ve set up my blog filter dropdowns to narrow the content. E.g, under Birthstones, they can specifically choose “May’s Birthstone”. Even better, with this app’s filters, the user can choose multiple topic dropdowns to filter all the content down to what they are looking for.

This is a huge help once you have a lot of articles, as Shopify gives no help at all with blog navigation.

The other thing I like is that the filter is based on the standard blog tags - so I didn’t have to do anything special for this app to work. No hidden tags or other app-specific workarounds. That was important to me, as I don’t have time to re-do everything for an app-specific solution.

I also want to give a big THANKS to the app developer(s)!
They helped me customize their filter to match my site’s branding. I also found a couple of issues/UI requests after using the app - those were quickly fixed. I appreciate that they listened to my ideas on what would improve the app’s user experience and made those changes.

Note I am using the filter part of the app, not the search functionality. Unfortunately, Shopify’s search API only allows the developers to search the blog titles, not the text of the blog. This means that searches don’t work well, since blog titles don’t have the words the user would search for. I’m disappointed that Shopify’s API works this way. Until that is fixed I am not going to use the search functionality of this app.

Thanks for the great app!

Support was quick to fix my issue and made it all better!

This is a great app the does the job! The team has been so responsive and provided incredible support when needed.

Great app that adds ability to filter blog posts by topics you choose. The interface is deceptively simple and yet very flexible as it is based on tags. Tags can be easily grouped to appear as drop down lists on the site. Some blog apps will only group posts if you have divided your posts among separate blogs, which I did not want to do, so this app filled my needs perfectly and was also the simplest to set up of the four I evaluated before choosing Blog Article Filter Search Pro.

The only thing I would like to see more is the ability to customize the appearance of the filter buttons from the app, though my impression is that their support would be more than happy to assist with customization if desired. I had made a custom blog page which did not automatically work with the app as the app is made to Shopify's default blog page, and contacted support who was very fast to make everything work and with appearance as I desired.

Choong gave me extremely fast support and quickly adjusted blog article filter search pro to adapt to the design of my theme. It looks great and I am very grateful. Thank you!

The app works great and does what I need. There was a glitch, where it disappeared from my site, but the developer worked on it as soon as I notified them and it was fixed within a day.

Worked perfectly upon installation. Ran into a bug that Choong jumped on right away and fixed within 3 hours. Highly recommend! Simple, intuitive, easy to use, good price point, looks and functions nicely, the list goes on! Thank you!

Our theme doesn't have the ability to apply search filters so I added this app so our blogs are more searchable. It is exactly what I was looking for and they even went a step further to help match it to our theme and fix it when it wasn't showing up immediately.

It worked perfectly on installation. I had some doubts and Choong immediately addressed them giving a quick and efficient solution. Highly recommended! Simple, intuitive, easy to use, just what I was looking for to order my blog posts! Thank you!

App works really well and the support team is very responsive and reliable - in less than 24h I had the filters ready to go and adjusted to my custom design. Really recommend!
