No idea what they have done with this app. It worked perfectly fine and now.. it's rubbish. You search for one product and 100s of random unrelated products appear.. very very disappointed and a fix needs to be made asap!
Another garbage update from Shopify. Search used to work just fine and now they made it worse and added an even worse app to "adjust" the settings. Glad this is what we are paying for.
accessories are limited to 10 products? and put in special effort so you really cannot change this limit? wtf? i dont even have words for how stupid this is.
It is a terrible app. It is impossible to understand why Shopify doesn't fix it. Fundamentally, it is expected to perform a number of functions, yet it is broken and unstable.
App is terrible and was not installed by me. A simple search that used to work great now returns hundreds of incorrect results.
Love the quality and the unique powerful messages my shirt I received from wow. Also, how they have three collections that fits my every need for Christian clothing
Did a lot of work to be able to move to metafield-tags only to be stopped by the 25-limit tag. Shopify supports shrugs and sends you to pay for a third party app. The ususal "Not our problem"-attitude.
Quiero usarla, para definir mejor las búsquedas de mis clientes y por alguna razón esta INACTIVA!! sin fecha de relanzamiento? por que inactivarla para hacerle cambios? por que no hacer los cambios solo en vista de su servidor y luego actualizar? lleva bastante tiempo inactiva...
why disable core functionality? synonym groups just randomly got dropped.
Whats wrong with the app, worked good in the past - now completely unusable
I like the app and its features. Shopify has put a lot of effort in making this. I especially love how related products can be added for one product. The filters are great too.
Search feature showing a full page of unrelated product. Not sure what went wrong here. It was good before
Coincido con los comentarios recientes, estoy ubicado en Colombia y esta herramienta esta generando malestar y novedades cuando vas a buscar algún producto. Ya lo reportamos a soporte Shopify. En espera de una rápida solución.
super confusing in Chinese version the translation is incorrect
Suddenly so much worse than before. It always displays a 1000 products that are completely unrelated to any search terms. Before I could search a specific product model and it only shows those, or search a single SKU it would show only that. Now it is completely useless for us and customers.
Zeer instabiel en vreet veel tijd van het opstarten van je webshop
there is not option to set the Availability filter to be always on... this makes the app useless when you want to filter for shoe sizes or clothing sizes... as customers click on the shoe size they need but if they don't go and also click available they will see out of stock products...
今までタイトルに入力している単語で検索できていたのに、完全一致でないとヒットしなくなりました。とても不便です。（例）wd650でヒットしていたのにｍ、wd650drまで入力しなければなりません。どういう仕組みでヒットされるようになっているのか不明です・・・。 様々なアップデートはありがたいです、旧な変更は困ってしまいます。とても使いにくくなりました。
The 25-filter limit feels like a bait-and-switch. Shopify promotes a highly customizable commerce platform, but once you begin building a sophisticated storefront, you quickly discover an arbitrary limit that forces many merchants to compromise their user experience or pay for third-party solutions.
si empezo a estar mal, antes con solo tres caracteres me salía las recomendaciones , de un un mes para debo literalmente escribirlo completo
☆2026/06/24 日本語のワードに対して単純一致で検索されません。特に人名や地名など漢字の羅列にとても弱いように見えます。タグに検索したいワードを設定することで、そのワードに対する検索は満足する動作になりました。 ↓ ・検索の類義語が最大1000まで 検索ワードは前方一致で探すようで、連続する語句の後方にあるワードを検索してもヒットしません。例えば「フランス・パリ」という文字が説明文にあっても「パリ」でヒットしません。それを解決するために類義語「フランス/パリ/フランス・パリ」を設定できますが、最大1000件しか登録できず、すぐに上限に達するでしょう。 ・検索対象の範囲 商品の説明文に対象の文字列が入っていると、ヒットする商品、ヒットしない商品があります。最初は説明文の先頭何文字かが検索の対象になっているものと考えましたが、そうではありませんでした。ヒットする条件が不明です。 ・サーバサイドでの結果の並び替え ソースを変更して改善を試みましたが、Horizonテーマではサーバサイドで処理された検索結果を受け取る仕組みになっており、ストア側での変更は現実的ではありませんでした。
Anyone found a better search app solution? The search is awful now for some reason. It use to work great but not anymore like others are saying recently.
Siempre anduvo bien hasta junio de 2026. Pensamos que eramos solo nosotros y se habia roto nuestro buscador, pero no. Vi varias reseñas que empezo a andar mal. Aun no hay solucion, buscas un producto y te salta otro, la busqueda por SKU tambien esta rota. Recomienda productos que no tienen nada que ver con el que se busca.
Es buena para filtros pero su buscador escrito es pesimo. Antes podria buscar por meta campos especificos como color, talla, etc. Ahora si no pones el titulo ESPECIFICO del producto sin ningun problema de ortografía, el buscador no muestra nada
da giugno l'app è stata aggiornata e non funziona più. impossibile cercare prodotti per SKU o Barcode. cerchi "abito giallo" e compaiono tutti gli abiti indipendentemente dal colore.
私のストアでは、このアプリを利用したストア内検索で 「ブランド名 + モデル名 + 色名 + 品番」と、 各商品ページに記載されている正しい品名で検索しても、 Shopify の検索アルゴリズムが「ブランド名＋モデル名」の塊を強く優先するため、 目的の商品が検索結果の後方へ押しやられてしまう状況がありました。 この問題を解決するために、まずブラウザの開発者ツールを使い、 「検索結果の HTML がどの JavaScript によって生成・並び替えされているか」 を調べました。 その結果、私のテーマでは global.js が検索結果の描画に関わっていることが分かり、 このファイルの最下部にカスタムソート処理を追加することで、 品番一致の商品を最上位に表示できるようになりました。 ただし、テーマによってファイル名や構造は異なるため、 まずは開発者ツールで「どの JS が検索結果を書き換えているか」を特定することが重要です。 さらに、Search & Discovery アプリの設定で 在庫切れ商品を「混在させる」に変更することで、 Shopify デフォルトの“売り切れ後方寄せ”が解除され、 カスタムソートが正しく反映されるようになりました。 この2つの組み合わせで、 「完売商品が検索で出てこない」「正確な商品名検索で目的の商品が上位に来ない」 という悩みを解決できました。 私は Copilot と Sidekicks とやり取りしながらこの方法に辿り着き、 カスタムソートのコードも AI に書いてもらい、目的を実現できました。 同じ問題で困っている方の参考になれば幸いです。
Pensamos que eramos los únicos con problemas con esta app, pero no.. parece que desde junio ha venido en declive. Los clientes buscan artículos y no les aparecen aunque estén activos. Es terrible, los resultados a veces ni coinciden con las búsquedas. Desinstanlando lamentameblemente.
I was quite happy with this app to start with and allowed me to target specific recommendations to complement products. However, it has not been updated to accommodate the changing platform and is missing some key things. I have started getting people adding products to their orders that they should not be able to get access too as they are behind closed pages and have the hide from search feature on them. It has started revealing my wholesale products and prices to people in the recommendation section and causing me grief with retail customers. I have had to uninstall this from the shop as it could potentially lose me customers Update: I have now put the app back on after finding how to add coding to the theme to stop certain products from showing in the recommendations. This should be a feature within the app for those that don't feel comfortable adding coding and so those of use who can, don't have to recode on every update
Dejo de funcionar bien en JUNIO! pr favor busquen una solucion!!!
As of June 2026, this app is totally useless, as it will not look at your product description for keywords. Shopify supports solution is to add all your keywords to the title. A search app that only searches product title is not only worthless, but totally asinine. We've used this app for as long as we've been on Shopify and now have to delete it and find a different solution. Talk about majorly disruptive and costly. Do better Shopify!
Search sucks - why the hell can I not search by SKU, partial name, Manufacturer. Doesn't work
Fro a while this has been a core app in our toolbox. We've used it for a few years with minimal issues (aside from a decent learning curve). Recently though, my customers can not literally search for product. THIS IS THE MAIN FUNCTION!! Predictive search works, but actually searching via a keyword, SKU, barcode, or vendor provides broken results that will show few to no products. Seriously, STOP USING AI TO CODE - you guys are going to spend more on fixing all your broken garbage than you would gain by being "productive". Get it together shopify!
It's absolutely awful, ginormous, backward change when the latest downgrades installed. It is no longer possible to search products by SKU. Are there any humans on the team? Or is it all run and programmed by Artificial Idiots now?
Terrible search experience. A billion-dollar company shouldn't offer such a basic search feature for this price.
Potrebbe essere l'app perfetta, ma al momento è molto limitata e poco utilizzabile. Deve essere più completa per essere utilizzata.
The good things are that this app is free but it still can be improved a lot. There are so many things missing. Being able to give weight to tags, description or title or leave them out. Include specific metafield. The worst for me is that it does not leave me to search if both tags are present ina product. Many times, products with only one of the tags present are shown. Incedible that Shopify official search is so outdated and primitive.
Great app! Great value. Easy to use. Can highly recommend.
Hi, our collection filter is showing duplicate Size values on the storefront. In Shopify Search & Discovery, each Size value appears only once, and the product option values are already unified. The duplicate values appear after expanding the Size filter, so it seems related to the app’s filter accordion/rendering or cached filter index. Could you please help check the Size filter data source and rebuild/clear the app filter cache?
There needs to be a way to remove archived products from the list when selecting products to recommend. This issue is only going to get worse over time as I archive more and more products. Not having this makes it much more time consuming than it should be to add product recommendations.
doesnt open anymore. just a blank screen with Shopify search and Discovery at the top. No one to contact for help, when i click get help it just goes to general shopify help - nothing to do with the app. Can someone contact me please
It is buggy and many time when I open the app it just crash. Shopify cannot even create a stable app in their own framework
Fait bien le job quand on sait travailler avec les metafields
Super glitchy, slow to load and have to refresh multiple times before showing product selection. App often crashes when saving so have to wait for app to reload again and the AI predictions run off the best sellers rather than products of similar type or collections
Muy buena app! Si tienes la tienda bien ordenada con metafields, configuras los filtros de búsqueda en menos de 2 minutos.
non c'è possibilità di rivedere le regole di scelta e modifcarle per tipologie di prodotto
For a free app it works quite well and we have integrated it into our site without hassle. I only wish that it would allow for more than 100 collection filter variants as we offer an extensive size range. Additionally it would be amazing to customise different filters per collection page.
This could be so good however there is a ridiculous "maximum of 25 filters" limit in place making this utterly unusable for any medium or large sized stores or even small stores with ambitions to grow. If you offer a wide range of products don't even waste your time downloading this app. Really poor given that this is an app developed by Shopify.
5000 product cap is ridiculous as that is the whole reason we want to show our entire range of unique products and then be able to filter them down. Very disappointed as with most things with Shopify basic functionality that is usually missing
Shopify's Search & Discovery app has been a game-changer for my online store! The ability to customize search filters and product recommendations has greatly improved the shopping experience for my customers. With features like synonym groups and product boosts, it's easy to ensure my products are found and highlighted exactly as needed. The analytics dashboard is also super helpful for tracking performance and understanding customer behavior. I highly recommend this app to anyone looking to optimize their store's search and increase sales!
All of my recommended products on every product in my store was reset to some random default with no warning, giving me hours if not weeks of work to do. Editing to now mention that changes to the recommended products are not sticking. The app is showing random products in the recommended section and there is no way to edit it. This is really, really frustrating. I've been wondering why sales have been down the last few days, now I know why. The "hide default" products is not working.
I have never used such app, there is no way to show what I customised for my customers which is unacceptable.
terrible, I can't figure out how to configure this app
Please fix the 5K filter limit on collectionpages, especially for Shopify Plus users this limit should be removed and does not fit an innovative platform like Shopify.
Relies too heavily on assumed auto-recommendations -- would love to be able to remove SPECIFIC auto recommendations, leave the rest, and have the available slots auto-generate. Secondly -- need to be able to ban specific products from ever auto-generating. There are things in my store (blank envelopes etc) that are great for functional use but I never want recommended. 3 out of 5 stars because of two major functionality omissions -- add these and will gladly upgrade to 5 stars.
I spent an hour trying to get this app working with basic filters, and it was nothing but dead ends. Total waste of time. This app is a steaming pile of garbage, shame on the developers for releasing something this broken.
The one feature I wish it had was the ability to set rules for recommendations. I get auto-generated ones that don't make sense, like a ring and a baby onesie. If I could select which tag or collection to recommend from, the auto-generate would be more accurate for upsells.
It really needs a big improvement this app! Shopify should focus on that
Pretty good. Makes it easier to provide a simple link to complimentary products in theme setup rather than product description text.

Yes, the app is free, but it’s missing a lot of important functionalities. For example, you can’t set the “in stock” filter to be checked by default, you can’t display available variants directly on the collection page, and there’s no quick buy option. The list goes on.
Under “Search & Discovery” app’s Recommendations tab, I have put 3 specific items in the Related Products column for each of my products (a total of 8 products), yet on the live website, the You May also like section only displays, 1 or 2 items, not all 3 items I’ve specified, and it is inconsistent in it's display tendencies. The settings within Shopify (Maximum products to show) for the “Related Products” is set to 3. Why am I seeing less than 3 items displayed on the live site? This app sort of does what I want, but not exactly as I want, therefore, 3 stars. Please work to improve this.
The app provides some great features to improve search and product discovery. It would get 5 stars if the Recommendation feature worked in reverse for custom product pairings.
Very good app, Please add more ways to filter. Like just tags of the products please x
Its really not that good, slow, not very customizable, and theres a glitch with the in stock filters
Unfortunately the filter of sizes does not work at all. Even though we have selected for out of stock merchandise not to show up, it still does. Additionally, it fails to filter sizes properly. Not recommended
Alles funktioniert so, aber ihr müsst es bei den neuen Themes anpassen, denn er zeigt beim Filtern Inhalte an, die nicht dazu gehören.
Very bad users experience and the fact that I cannot customize URLs is stupid. Have you looked at your URLs after createing filter? They look like this "filter.v.t.shopify.theme=gid%3A%2F%2Fshopify%2FTaxonomyValue%". Who wants to have these URLs in their website?
