Searchanise Search & Filter

Hello,

We are very sorry to see our recent issue affected your store and your sales! As we analyzed, it was fixed by our developers 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 Jeans, your customers will be redirected to the Search results page with all the products found for the ‘Jeans’ search term. In case this mechanism didn’t work for you during our issue, please let us know - 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 for making 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 see, you stayed with us and we truly appreciate it! It means the world to us and we will do all we can to make our service better for you. If you still have any questions regarding this whole situation or anything else, feel free to contact us at feedback@searchanise.io.

Best wishes,

Hello,

We are very sorry to see our recent issue affected your mobile search! As we see, it should be fixed by our developers already. Nevertheless, our main priority now is to examine all the details of this situation.

We just contacted you via email since we'd like to have a quick call with you to discuss this issue and how it affected your store in particular. By the way, we can cover the Add to cart issue, too. We hope we can talk to you soon!

UPDATE 04.12.2024: We assume you haven't received our emails and we're sorry to see it! It appears as though our emails end up in the Spam folder or something else happens. To ensure we can talk we sent you a new email using different contact info associated with your store. Additionally, we enabled the Live Chat feature for you. We hope we can talk to you soon!

Hello,

We are truly sorry to see you're dissatisfied with our app and our support team! We indeed experienced an issue with our Filters on collections feature that prevented us from taking into account the category conditions. That's why the products shown in some collections were incorrect.

The good news is that the issue is fixed. To apply it to your store as well, some manual changes need to be done in your Shopify store. We understand that it can be time-consuming, that's why we suggested to do that ourselves. In our latest email to you, we described the permission we need for that. As we see, we didn't get a reply from you. If you're ready to give us another shot, please reply to our email - we will gladly help you as fast as we can. Thank you!

Hello,

It's very sad to hear you faced this mobile image issue! As we informed you via email, it was caused by the theme code and our developers fixed it for you. Please let us know if you still need our assistance.

As for the fact that we didn't help, we are very sorry for not fixing it faster! At that time, we were experiencing a high load of tickets. However, we do understand that helping clients faster is crucial to any business. And we have great news: we hired more people for the customer support team and organized training activities to improve our service. Additionally, we have made our chat support available 24/7. Feel free to contact us there through our admin panel or via email at feedback@searchanise.io.

Hello,

We are truly sorry we disappointed you with our slow response time! It's caused by the fact that we're experiencing a high load of tickets due to an increased number of installations. Plus, as we analyzed, many of our new clients replaced our competitors' search apps with our app, which also contributed to an increase in installations.

We definitely understand that we had a problem with response speed. Fixing it was our main priority. So now we have good news for you: we hired more people and also organized team training activities to improve our service.

As we see, you are still using Searchanise. Thank you very much for staying with us! Our team is now stronger than ever so feel free to contact us with any questions.

Best wishes,

We are sincerely sorry to see your experience with our app was so disappointing! The downtime is a serious issue and we understand why it makes you so frustrated.

Right after the issue was fixed, our developers started the investigation process to figure out what exactly went wrong and how we could avoid it in the future. See, in such situations, our system automatically switches to the default Shopify search and collections display to ensure your store remains operational. As we understand, you also experienced complete unavailability of search results and collections, just like some of our other clients. This is unexpected behavior and we are currently running the test to see why it happened.

As for communication with support, we have checked your ticket and see that you have received an initial answer in 13 minutes. The chat functionality in your admin panel appears to be working and as far as we know, it wasn't turned off during the technical downtime. As for the phone support, we indeed see that we didn't reply and we apologize for that! We will work on it so we don't miss any calls or so we call you back in the shortest time.

We also left you a reply via email to discuss the potential resolution to the issue with financial losses. We look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,
Searchanise team
