Was working well then they changed their pricing to charge for all out of stock products which don't even show up in the search results which is a joke so had to delete the app after years of great results
Hello.
It appears that there has been some kind of misunderstanding. The pricing changes haven't affected what products our app indexes, i.e., what products are counted towards the catalog size supported by subscription plans. Out of stock products have always been searchable and counted by default.
There are several ways to exclude products from indexation, though:
1) Exclude products with specific tags as described here: https://docs.searchanise.io/hide-products-from-search-shopify/;
2) Set products to Draft;
3) Make products unavailable in Online store.
Please message us at feedback@searchanise.io about this issue. We will be glad to resolve it!
we cannot use any product app on our store because if we do, customers cannot checkout. It has been over 1 month we have been asking for help with searchanise, it takes 2-3 days to get a response, when we reply its then another 2-3 days. We are having a lot of issues. Becareful which filter app you choose because it is a big job to change over. Not happy at all the worst app!!!!!!!!!! there is a new issue every single week. i hate it so much.
Edited to add, I replied to every email. You just kept saying you couldnt help.
I am still having the same issues and still no help.
Hello,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We apologize for making you wait for a solution.
At the time, we had far less people in our team and we're sorry it made your experience so unpleasant! Nowadays, our team is much bigger so responses are usually sent in time.
As we see, we tried to investigate the checkout issue, yet then we asked for a few questions, we didn't receieve a reply. Of course, we hope the issue isn't present no longer, yet if it is, feel free to contact us via email so we can help.
Best wishes,

worked for a few days but have stopped working since. i have a big store, not sure if that's the reason.
Negatives:
1) My prices stopped showing and while support has been replying me daily, they couldnt solve the problem so they escalated it to the developer. Been 2 days, still no progress. I have a live store, what should i do?
2) Since im in their trial version, they asked me to upgrade. In their email, it is stated that if i upgrade within the next 2 days, i will get a 30% discount. The truth is, I can upgrade by the end of the trial to get the same discount, which is published on your app page:
http://start.searchanise.com/shopify/?utm_source=shopify&utm_medium=app_page&utm_campaign=shopify%20app
So i'm not entirely sure if i getting a good deal just by upgrading in the next 2 days
Pros: It's has fast search, but not faster than instant search+ or even comes close.
Having said that, the cost is no where near instant search+ also. Bang for your buck if you need a custom search solution but cannot afford other premium solutions like instant search+ / agolia
That being said, this an honest review and not out to bash the app developers or the people who sent their email promotions. The app did breakdown half way through trial and getting no solution in 2 days on a live store is not acceptable. Who knows what will happen next if i choose to subscribe? If a solution can be delivered, I will adjust the ratings.
Also, don't sed out emails like that mentioned in point 2. I really though i was getting a great deal until i found out that the price is the same. Bad move man.
Hello,
Thank you very much for a detailed feedback. We are sorry to see you had issues with several aspects with our app.
Your frustration is totally understandable, especially when it comes to prices not being shown. As a rule, we deal with such issues as fast as we can. Since the time when you had left the review, our team grew so now we are capable to solve our clients problems faster.
You also mentioned the 30% offer that didn't seem that profitable. We are sorry to leave a wrong impression, yet the 30% deal we offer for 2 days works for months subscriptions when the discount we have on our app page works for yearly subscriptions only.
We know you stopped using our app due to the issues you faced. Still, we'd like to say that we are always glad to see you back so you can have a better experience with Smart Search & Filter.
All the best,
Searchanise team
They did something to my store and haven't fixed it yet. Product pics don't come up properly on collection pages and there is still weird lines in between products which I told them to fix but no update. They keep sending automated messages and close the ticket. It's not acceptable.
Hello,
Thanks a lot for your feedback. We are sorry that the issue with the borders has influenced your store. It happened because of the latest update that added a new setting for changing the product tile borders color. We know what was the cause and will not let it happen again.
Also, as far as we can see, one of our support agents has already helped you to fix the issue and the borders are not displayed in your store anymore.
As for the ticket itself, it was closed automatically in 4 days after one of our agents responded, as we didn't receive any further replies from you in that ticket. We apologize for these inconveniences. Please also note that you can re-open any of your tickets by replying to them at any time.
If there is anything else we can do, please message us at feedback@searchanise.io, we are always here to help you.
Best regards,
Searchanise team
I have been using this app for a while. A load of configurable features but very unreliable indexing. All of a sudden collections stop showing products that hundreds of products. No way someone can run a store with this App. Complete waste of time and money. And not a very good customer service either, If I am facing major issues one more time, I will cancel, raise it with Shopify and do whatever needed to get my money back. Please stay away from this App.
We are really sorry to hear that you have faced such issues with indexation. The team is investigating this problem and will try to find the best solution to fix it. We will keep following up with you via our current email thread.
The app itself is solid, but they've changed their pricing twice recently which took our site functionality down until we figured out that we had to re-sign up for a new plan. If we'd been notified so we could have been proactive that would have been great, instead we had to find out the expensive way, when your Shopify site was no longer working properly. Moreover, the first time this happened, there was a bug which wouldn't let us accept new pricing. In short, we like the app, but the management of it and the service of it had a very bad impact on our business.
Hello.
First of all, thank you very much for mentioning that the app it self is useful :) We are more than happy that you keep using our app after the episode you describe in the review.
We are terribly sorry that our process of switching to the new prices had a negative impact on your business. The troubles you've experienced were not planned by any means.
We have tried to notify you by sending notifications via email, about a month before we started the process, making an announcement on our official site, and also showing a banner with information about this in the app's admin panel. Unfortunately, none of these things guarantee that the information was available to all of our clients. We are sorry that we couldn't find a more reliable way to notify everyone.
Regarding us not being able to resolve the issue with signing up in time, which caused the app not working for some time. Our support team has been overwhelmed by all the incoming emails during that period. Thankfully, that spike is over now and things are back to normal.
Please review our email regarding this situation that we've sent you.
Best regards,
Searchanise team
App is down and there is no immediate help or support. None of my collection pages are loading which I have ads going to.
Hello,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are deeply sorry for the trouble you had to go through.
We experienced a technical issue and the team was alerted with a delay. Surely, the issue was fixed and now the app works well.
The whole team is now hard at work on improving the monitoring system and internal processes to prevent possible issues and make sure the performance stays stable.
As far as I see, the app now works without any issues in your store, but if you need our help with anything, don't hesitate to contact us at feedback@searchanise.com.

VERY BAD SERVICE, Dont use this app, They are not replying to our emails for many days, we asked for some changes to the filters in our store, They Messed up our website, we are asking them to fix the issues and no respond. NEVER NEVER INSTALL THIS APP.
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that we made such an impression on you and it's breaking our hearts to see you disappointed with our support. It seems that there was some misunderstanding. We have only made the same changes that were made in the unpublished theme for the live one, as per your request. We also notified you about it both via email and in the chat, and provided an instruction for reverting the changes.
As for now, all the changes have been reverted and the collection pages are powered by the theme again. Please let us know if you still have any difficulties and we will do our best to fix everything.
It would also be great if you could let us know the ID numbers of the tickets you already have in your email, so we could check why we missed them and avoid this issue in the future.
Best regards,
Searchanise team
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
Hello,
Thank you for pointing the issue out. I'm sorry that our service disappointed you. It's true, we do not offer live chat support right now, but we do treat urgent requests with top priority. Right now our team is working on the issue you submitted and we will follow up with you shortly within our current email thread.

**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
