App has broken on our live website, very slow response time via email. No live chat service. Very disappointed, as the app had been performing really well.
No live support and huge loss in revenue from our website not showing any products

Right now our team is working on the issue you submitted and we will follow up with you shortly within our current email thread.

The app has so many bugs. Customer support has no idea how to fix issues which generic response. They charge a premium for an app that is not premium. The app has completely stopped working on my website and I have no idea why. They're say they are sorry in response to this review, a generic response rather than fixing important issues.
Thank you for your review. We are extremely sad to see you had such a disappointing experience with our app!
We indeed currently have a bug related to Draft products in our system which affects your store and we can assure you our team is currently working on it. The last thing we want is for our responses to leave an impression of generic ones. We are truly sorry we made you feel like we do not look into your case individually. We promise to do better!
As for the app not working in your store for a period of time, as we see we addressed this problem via email too and we hope the solution we implemented helps you!
Thank you again for your honest feedback and for staying with us! We sincerely appreciate it and will fix the bug as soon as we can.
Best wishes,
Searchanise team
**UPDATE***
Second critical outage during a month end promotion. All our collections are broken at the moment.
Cannot access the admin to contact support. Major ad spending and promotions driving people to the store and they cannot view collections.
This is unacceptable and damaging to our business.
We are very sorry to see the recent downtime made you change your rating! We can imagine how stressful it was.
Unfortunately, we did face technical difficulties that impacted a small portion of our infrastructure. These issues arose due to problems within the datacenter of our hosting provider, leading to partial or complete unavailability of our search services for our clients during the incident: 5% experienced slowdown of the search, 3% experienced short (less than 30 min) app unavailability and 1% experienced prolonged unavailability of our services.
In such situations, our system automatically switches to the default Shopify search and collections display to ensure your store remains operational. As we see, this mechanism didn't work in your store. This is unexpected behavior and we will perform throughout tests on our side on this matter. Thank you for your feedback!
We are also actively enhancing our infrastructure to minimize potential downtime in the event of unforeseen issues. We're eager to make our service a lot more stable for you!
As for the financial losses, we're currently discussing the potential resolution to this with you via email. We hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you for staying with us despite these temporary issues! We will work on them and your feedback is always welcome.
Best wishes,
Searchanise team
Didn't install correctly. Reached out to the developer for help. Never got a reply. Deleted the app.

We wish you good sales!

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
We added this app to our store at the beginning of November, and although this app displays a help chat time of just 7 minutes for example - you regularly have to wait 6 hours to get a response. Extremely frustrating service - when nothing can be answered quickly. Also the app does not allow you to make bulk changes easily - so making changes to a large catalogue is very time consuming. If you have a large store with multiple variants - the 'in stock' filter does not work alongside the 'size' filter - which defeats its purpose surely??
Hello!
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry you had such a disappointing experience with our chats! We understand how frustrating it is to wait for hours in chat which is totally not what we aim to do. The chat system we're using was quite new to us. We apologize for your bad experience.
However, we took into account your opinion and we worked hard on improving the response time of our support team both in chats and in the emails. We hope you can give our chats another shot because we will not let such delays happen again.
Regarding the bulk changes, we see your point. Clients with large catalogs indeed should have an easier way to adjust the settings and we're sorry we do not offer such functionality now. Nevertheless, it's totally on our radar and we have plans for adding this option to our admin panel. Even though we cannot say its ETA for now, yet when the feature is released, we will inform all our clients about it so please stay tuned.
If you need our help, feel free to contact us either via email at feedback@searchanise.io or in chat.
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
