Shopify Search & Discovery

The app provides some great features to improve search and product discovery. It would get 5 stars if the Recommendation feature worked in reverse for custom product pairings.

The "recommendations" part of this app is almost unusable. Every page takes for ever to load and it keeps crashing all the time. We need to update the complimentary products for all our products and it's an absolute nightmare.

Unfortunately the filter of sizes does not work at all. Even though we have selected for out of stock merchandise not to show up, it still does. Additionally, it fails to filter sizes properly. Not recommended

This app is good if your filter results will be relatively small. In my opinion the app has two major shortcomings, and both are only relevant if number of filter results for your store can be high.

1) Shopify limits the number of filter results to 100, which may be fine for most stores but is a major problem for mine. I have product metafields that are used to filter and these fields can have several hundred different entries but shopify will only display 100. Shopify suggests workarounds but it seems hokey to have Product Names A to F, Product Names, G to M, and so on. Just make the number 100 by default, but have the option to change it in the settings if needed.

2)Not having an option for a scroll bar in the filter results. Again, if you have a lot of options that will show up on your filter Shopify will display a certain number followed by a "show more" link. If the number of results is high, such as 90, your customers are in for a lot of scrolling.

I have tried many other platforms and most of them fall short in regard to product filtering with the exception of Ecwid. Their built in filters are really good, unfortunately the platform falls short with regard to product videos and cost.

I have conceded and am currently trying several 3rd party filters.

It works, but why would it be so limited to the number of filters? Each collection should have at least 5, if not 10, unique filters. This is the major reason why I am giving it only 2 stars. If it wasn't free, it would be 1 star.

The app is very limited. Number of products is max 5000. If you have more than 5000 products, the filters are not shown on your page. Because of this, a lot of products are not shown.

Overall good App. It needs an excluded products feature where you can manually select 'best sellers' that you dont want listed as recommended products.

Very bad users experience and the fact that I cannot customize URLs is stupid. Have you looked at your URLs after createing filter? They look like this "filter.v.t.shopify.theme=gid%3A%2F%2Fshopify%2FTaxonomyValue%". Who wants to have these URLs in their website?

Under “Search & Discovery” app’s Recommendations tab, I have put 3 specific items in the Related Products column for each of my products (a total of 8 products), yet on the live website, the You May also like section only displays, 1 or 2 items, not all 3 items I’ve specified, and it is inconsistent in it's display tendencies. The settings within Shopify (Maximum products to show) for the “Related Products” is set to 3. Why am I seeing less than 3 items displayed on the live site?

This app sort of does what I want, but not exactly as I want, therefore, 3 stars. Please work to improve this.

I need to remove the product recomendations from my product page, and it is impossible, the app is not visible in the theme editor, there is no option to not show the product recommendatioons on product page, and there is no support to talk to
