Overall a really solid app — no major issues and it integrates smoothly into our workflow. Would love to see a bulk edit option added for collection facets, as that would save a lot of time managing larger catalogs. Our TAM Elias has been incredibly helpful and supportive throughout our experience.
Algolia has made search much faster and more relevant on our store. We especially like the control over rankings, synonyms, filters, and merchandising.
We had and issue with our staging environment not being able to reindex. After speaking with our TAM and entering a ticket our issue was resolved in a day. I am very pleased with the continuing communication and the speed in which it was resolved.
Algolia is a powerhouse when it comes to search functionality. The robust customization options allow for highly tailored search results that enhance user experience and drive conversion. Their customer success team has been incredibly supportive throughout our integration, providing valuable insights and guidance to help us maximize the platform's potential. Algolia is a valuable asset for any DTC brand committed to improving their e-commerce search experience.
Love this app! Tons of flexibility around ranking factors, using tags or metafields. We also have enjoyed using the dynamic re-ranking feature which boosts our products based on CTR and CVR
We have several stores we manage and were having issues with search and filtering. Algolia has been an amazing tool for our team presenting results quickly, giving us more control over the results that are returned and providing us with great support.
Algolia is a great product and we are very happy with it. This has drastically improved our search and merch experience through AI recommendations and other automations. The platform is always evolving and we can't wait to see the new features. The Algolia app works well with Shopify. It does not provide a frontend framework though so this is something your developer team will need to implement with Algolia. Also their support and CSM are very responsive and we have always been able to find commercial and technical solutions.
I recommend Algolia 100% - When launched our online store we used different apps for product discovery functionalities, it was always complex and the results obtained never made sense. Algolia's app is the best in the market, truly using AI and data smartly and easily, plus continuously evolving and developing new features and always getting excellent support from their team from a technical but also commercial perspective.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Would 100% recommend Algolia to other enterprise level users - the tool has everything you need to make a success of your search strategy and a team with the expertise to help too. We've worked with Algolia for 1.5 years now and our search experience is definitely the best it's been, with a marked improvement from our previous partner.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly appreciate it!
Algolia has been a great investment in helping us aggregate search records across different WordPress and Shopify environments. Their support has been invaluable -- from presales to post-launch questions. The product itself works great and tying into the API to customize our results pages was very straightforward. We highly recommend Algolia.

Glad to hear it is working well for you!
I've used Algolia for a few years now, originally with the full API integration, and now with the Shopify app and I've been really impressed with both. Investment in the set-up and configuration is definitely worth the output - it's such a powerful tool. Algolia's re-ranking in our collection pages and search results improved our click throughs and conversion enough to quickly pay for the license. I know this because of the ability to A/B test in the tool, coupled with visible and detailed analytics. Would definitely recommend.

Appreciate your support!
We tested almost every search app out there and spent countless hours finding the right search for our shopify store, robotvacuums.com. We also ported it to another site, freedomusasales.com Algolia is not only better than all search engines, it completely blows all other apps out of the game. I cannot understand any of the low reviews except A: Lazy ignorant people who do not understand what they are missing out on or B: Jealous competitors who know their goose is cooked. Other search apps are just modifications of the built in shopify search, which is extremely lacking in features. Some are so backwards that you cannot even type a search term in middle of a sentence, it will not show results. We are still new to algolia and learning how to harness it but seeing the bad reviews is so categorically false and wrong on so many levels that it just gets me angry and we had to write something... Thanks!
We use Algolia to filter and render collections, product recommendations and search. It is really fast and reliable. Highly recommended
Great app, works seamlessly within your site. (Doesn't feel like a bolted on app as many do.) Good support too, they have helped us achieve some quite complex technical solutions on our store.
Search is the most important feature on our online store with 15k+ products. And Algolia is the perfect solution for us. The indexing process works very well, and the Algolia dashboard gives us tons of features. We used InstantSearch.js to implement a custom search user experience.
I have used Algolia for the previous e-commerce sites on the companies that I worked for and it has always been the best option to get results, users can search for any type of product attributes and make it easier to convert. The spelling check and predictive text functionalities are something that no other search app has make work so well. I would recommend using without a doubt
This Algolia integration was easy to implement and provided a much better result that out of the box search. We've also been able to adjust the ranking and disable typo-tolerance for a few unique strings to better suit our needs.
Algolia is an amazing search SaaS providing an amazing user experience to our customers. We were thinking about building a search ourselves with Elasticsearch, but are now using Algolia to make 3M+ books searchable at shop.autorenwelt.de. Matthieu, who is responsible for this integration at Algolia, was an absolute pleasure to work with - never before have I experienced such a responsive, thorough and helpful customer support. If search is the primary way your customers interact with your product range, don't skimp on it.
Really wanted to use this app, but I cannot create an account with them. I literally cannot press the "create account" button on my browsers (and I've tried all of them). I've asked support to help me multiple times, and they always say they will look into it, but then I never hear from them again. EDIT: they contacted me quickly after this review with a great solution and some extra's.
I'm a Shopify Experts developer, and Algolia is the best search app for Shopify HANDS DOWN. If you go to Algolia.com, you'll see that they're used on some really big name fashion brands like thekooples.com/us/. Best part, it's free!! Their instant search makes it feel like you're on Google. It blows shopify native search out of the water. Installation is a little more involved than a single click, but it's worth it because this is a real platform, not a shitty half-baked Shopify plugin app as many are.. honestly. I've implemented this across a few of my client sites. Here are some examples of how you can use it: http://marissa-webb.com/search http://chuubie.com/search Lastly, their support forums are GREAT, they will get back to you next day early morning. and you can search for answers in the forums. Expert level customizability for your search needs. A++++++++
After reading one of the bad reviews below, I checked and found I was experiencing the same issue on my iPhone. I contacted support and they got back pretty much straight away. After 2 days of some back and forth to try to troubleshoot the problem, Matthieu has been a pleasure to work with, and helped me fixed the problem (so yes, there is a quick and easy fix for it!). They have since written a public post with the resolution https://discourse.algolia.com/t/ios-issues-with-our-shopify-autocomplete/1653 Apart from this little problem, the app itself is great, and we've been able to manipulate it to work with our retail/wholesale store. This has really helped search for both our customers and customer support team, and also makes training new employees easier. Check it out on www.smai.com.au Thanks Matthieu and Algolia Search! Great app and great service! :)
Good customer support The search page is pretty fast! It's going to be the main structure of my collections pages
A few early hiccups, but the developer fixed them. Everything works great! Great communications with the developer.
