Didn't install correctly. Reached out to the developer for help. Never got a reply. Deleted the app.

We worked hard to improve the response time of our support team and hope that you won’t face such difficulties in the future. Also, we checked your store and we were glad to see that you still use our app and the widgets are working fine there. We appreciate you as a client and don’t want you to be disappointed with our app. So, if any questions appear, please contact us and we will do our best to find a proper solution for you!
We wish you good sales!
Best regards,

We've been with this app for over 2 years and I would rate them 4 out of 5 stars but recently they changed their pricing and cancelled our old plan was $27 and now $59 for the same thing. I guess inflation hitting hard on everything.
Hello,
Thank you very much for your feedback.
We understand that increase in prices is always not a pleasant event and sorry that we had to put you through it. As to why we had to change the prices, it was necessarily to do as it allows us keep improving the experience of our clients. Our development team puts a lot of effort adding new features and improving the old ones. Some of the big new features are new widget designs and compatibility with year/make/model apps. Currently, we are working on implementing image, voice search, and some other functionality requested by our clients.
Please also note that the pricing model that was used before had been adopted in 2013. We understand that keeping the prices steady is important and kept them the same for almost 9 years, but the time for changes has come.
Lastly, we would like to address the part about cancelling active subscriptions that you mentioned. To our regret too, it indeed has happened as it was necessary due to technical reasons. We converted your subscription into an equivalent trial one to prevent the subscription from being automatically renewed, while not cutting out the service. We have sent several notifications about this via email, added a banner to the app's admin panel, and also added information about the changes to our official site prior to this. All of this has been done out of necessity and we will do our best to avoid this practice in the future. Hope for your understanding.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to message at feedback@searchanise.io at any time. We will be glad to do all we can to help.
Best regards,
Searchanise team.
Searchanise raised the cost after I subscribed so I moved to rapidsearch. I like it better as a product, it has a stronger feature set and is priced quite a bit more competitively. Despite uninstalling the search anise app, unsubscribing from their emails, repeatedly asking them to leave me alone, and filing a support ticket to figure out why none of these steps worked they still send me unsolicited emails. Regret not exploring other alternatives before I gave these folks my email address
Hi,
Thank you very much for your feedback. Sorry to hear that you had such an experience due to us switching to the new subscription model.
We indeed can't apply discounts now and might not have been able to disable one of our automatic emails with a discount offer in time. Please accept our sincere apologies for the confusion.
Please message us at feedback@searchanise.io and provide more details about the discount you mentioned, so we could see what we can do for you instead of that discount.
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. Feel free to contact us again with any questions or queries. We will be glad to help!
Best wishes,
Searchanise team

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are really sorry to know that you have faced issues with Langify integration. Our team is now working on the issue you mentioned and we will do our best to fix it quickly. We will keep following up on this in our current email thread.

Be careful to subscribe to this app yearly cause their policy is nonrefundable. We recently upgrade to the new theme and have to change a new app base on our needs, however, they refuse to refund my yearly subscription ( I am not requesting a full refund, just a portion).
This app will change your collection page, and redirect to its layout, if the page didn't load completely and visitors click the link, still will go to your theme's design, that is the reason we consider to change it. Additionally, If I don't make any mistake here, they said $19 per month is up to 1500 Products but our store only has around 250, but in the dashboard, they ask us to upgrade cause we sold over $50000. Thirdly, if you want to customize the collection or search result, it towards java, not really easy to use. This app does not work for niche stores. Finally, they did some kind of upgrade of the app and kill of all my pre-set button colors, and just send me an email with sorry. Our member has to spend another 2 hours to adjust it back.
We using this app for over 1 year and really hate to write a bad review for developers cause everybody is not easy here. However, it is time to speak something.
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback, sorry to hear that our app didn't quite suit your store.
As to your points, our annual subscriptions are indeed non-refundable. Yet, we value you as a customer and will do our best to come up with something in this case. One of our agents has already contacted you regarding this via email, we hope to hear from you.
About how our app works, it is true that it creates a new page that is used as a search results page, which uses a layout that is most probably different from the one on search results page that is used by the theme. This is, quite an obvious drawback, however, the design and layout that our app uses can be changed with the help of settings and a bit of custom code. We have articles about this on our help portal: https://docs.searchanise.io/modify-widgets-appearance/, https://docs.searchanise.io/customize-content-search-results-widget/, and some others. JavaScript modifications (and I must mention that Java is not used by our app, it is a very different language) might be required, but they are not, usually. Besides, our support team is always glad to help if you face difficulties with making our app suit your store. Apart from consultation, this includes developing the necessary code too, if possible.
The redirect to the default search results page shouldn't occur when our app is active, but if it does, it can be fixed very easily in 99.9% of cases. If you decide to give us another chance, we will do our best to fix it for you. We have also described a solution for this situation in the following article: https://docs.searchanise.io/widget-doesnt-appear-on-page-load-shopify/, it is publicly available. The described solution works pretty much always and doesn't require any coding/special knowledge, and takes minutes to implement, if needed.
Regarding the subscription pricing, we don't quite understand what you mean yet, unfortunately. You had an annual subscription that costs $151.2 a year and supports up to 5,000 products. The very same subscription is currently available to you, at least as far as we can see when we check it from our end. Subscription price also doesn't depend on how much you sell, only on how many products (their variants are not counted) there are in the store and what features you need to be available to you. Looks like there was some misunderstanding, we would be more than happy to clarify this part with you.
With all that said, it looks like the issues you've described might be fixed rather quickly. Our whole team will be glad to assist with it if you decide to try Searchanise one more time and contact our support about this (feedback@searchanise.io).
Thank you again for the feedback and for the detailed review! We will do our best to take it into account and improve our service in the future.
Best regards,
Searchanise team
We used this app for about 1-2 years, its pretty good and full of options. They've changed their pricing about 3 times, doubling ths cost most of the time. Way too costly for what it is, we are done with it. We triied to reach customer support and they have no control on it, cant help.
Hello,
Thank you very much for your feedback. Glad to hear that you have been using our app for so long and enjoyed its functionality!
Regarding the situation with pricing that you are describing, we had started using a new pricing model recently, and prices for some plans indeed have been raised. We kept the pricing the same for over 9 years, but our app has changed quite a lot after all these years, so we had to make changes to the subscription plans eventually.
I also must say that we have changed our prices only once, it has never happened before. As far as I understand, you are also referring to the situation when your discount had expired, about which you reached out to us about 5 months ago. In the email with the offer of this discount it was stated that this discount only lasts for 1 year, which it did.
We have sent you a message about the pricing for your store at jpvachon1@gmail.com a few days ago. If you don't see it in the inbox, please check the spam folder or message us at feedback@searchanise.io. We will be more than happy to find a solution for you and answer any questions if they arise.
Have a nice day!
A really disappointing experience from start to finish. During a routine speed audit, our web agency discovered that Searchanise was causing our Shopify store to run much slower than it should, so we uninstalled the app and contacted the developer to request a refund of our annual subscription. Several days later, there’s been no reply whatsoever from Searchanise. Poor performance and poor customer service - the worst of all worlds!
Hello,
Thanks a lot for sharing feedback with us. We are sorry to know that we have made such an impression on you.
Unfortunately, our support team has been overwhelmed lately. We are terribly sorry that we had to make you wait. Anyway, we did our best to improve the response time of our support team and we hope that such delays won’t appear again.
Regarding the issue with store speed, all the Searchanise scripts are loaded asynchronously, so it shouldn't affect overall performance. However, if you face any difficulties with that again, please let us know. Our whole team will be happy to find a solution for you.
Best regards,
Searchanise team.
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.
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.
Hello,
Thank you for leaving your feedback for us. We are really sorry that you have faced these issues with the search while using our app.
The team is investigating the problem right now and we will do our best to find the best solution to the issues you mentioned. We will get back to you with the results shortly in the ticket you submitted.
