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.
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
Overall good App. It needs an excluded products feature where you can manually select 'best sellers' that you dont want listed as recommended products.
Very good app, still needs betterment when it comes to search and recommendations. It would be great to have search by image introduced as well. Nowadays customers are taking screenshots from social media and they try to search it by image. I would prefer to have it in this app itself other than using some other apps
Good, but need to be able to quickly select recommendations. It would make life so much easier just to view the recommendations, then add the ones you want by simply clicking the product icon to add. EDIT: Bulk edit feature is incredibly helpful!
Virkelig en god app, vi er virkelig glade for den. Vi har bare et stort ønske om at kunne trække commended products ud, så det bliver muligt at kører data ind på andre domæner. Det er et stort arbejde at sidde manuelt og vælge recommended products på 5 domæner.
The app works pretty well as a free offering. It won out in A/B testing from our previous paid solution. I'm hoping the developers introduce a setting to 'draft' status filters so that they can be hidden from a store without totally deleting them and having to re add them at a later date. I would also like a preview option on draft filters so we can do something like setup a large meta field list without impacting the prod site when looking to preview the filter. Currently I am having to setup a product meta field on our sandbox store of over 18k products so that I can preview that meta field list color filtering 'AND' behavior works as expected and then I will have to bring all these meta field values over to our prod store. A simpler solution would allow me to setup the meta fields on the prod store, preview the new Color filter on prod without making it live to test it, and then if it works as expected setting it to live. Another nice to have, would be to make product.options by Color as an AND filter by default instead of OR so that a metafield list wouldn't even be necessary.
Good app if you're only using one language. When working in several markets/languages the filter using product tags only works in your primary language, it will not be visible in your others...
The search app is good, but there's lacking features. If you have a store with more than 5000 items, the filter doesn't show and there's no way to filter a collection by product count. Out of stock items are hidden in search, but forget about it if someone is browsing products. Customize filters with metadata works fairly well, but for some reason adding thousands of data points to group makes the app not show all the data to group it in the app, but shows it to the customer on the website ungrouped.
I give it 4 stars because the new categories (product) do not automatically appear in the filter. You need to create meta fields with related meta objects to make them visible in the filter section. This extra step can be cumbersome and time-consuming. However, once set up, the filtering functionality is excellent and greatly enhances the shopping experience.
Our contracted Shopify Partner, GSATi suggested we implement this app as a free alternative to DooFinder. Ever since turning on semantic search and boosting products, we've seen a significant increase in site conversion. My one suggestion would be to automatically turn on semantic search as a function of the app when onboarding.
It works quite well, but could be a bit more simple - adding more examples for each type might help.
As a new store owner i would rate the app good. Thank you.
Without a boost, prodcts are not showing on the result.
Est ce que l’appli augmente le nombre d’options par produit ? Si oui, c’est parfait…
Really helped us a lot with stats about what people search and new filters. www.scentsation.pt
when you filter a size, color or any other variant, the results show all the products even if they are not available or out of stock. This is uncomfortable for our customers, since they will not know for sure if the size in this case is available or not. We hope you find a quick solution to this small problem. thank you.

Hi there; you can now control the display of out of stock product variants from the app's settings :) In the Settings screen, there is an "Out of stock products" section where you can choose to not show items in search results, which also applies to filtered views. You can find more information in the Help Center documentation https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/search-and-discovery/search#search-result-types
Veru good app but the Shopify support is not on par with the rest of the apps on from the app store. App devs are helping with app installation and customization but Shopify help is redirecting to public resources. Well, we won't need support if we could find our answers in public resources. There is not even a support email where we can answer questions! My question: how we can make the filters sticky on the default Shopify Dawn theme.
It would be incredibly helpful to define more than one filter set and have the ability to indicate which filter set should be used on a collection template. Right now I am forced into having one set of filters for every collection, even when collections are comprised of different product categories that have unique search criteria (filters).
Bastante eficiente a experiência com esse app. Nos mostrou uma amplitude de possibilidades a acrescentar em nossa plataforma.
Love this app for customising recommending products, the filter section needs a lot more customisation for me to be able to consider using it but being able to customise recommended AND matching products has been great for my customers & helping them find what they need visually. The one big downside is the automated recommendations, they make hardly any sense & I can't turn them all off - I have to do it one by one then replace all of them manually, it's taking me 4-6 minutes to do each product & I am dreading having to go through it again when I release a new collection. Great especially for an app I don't need to pay extra money money for, but time consuming

Thank you for the review. Our team is actively working new features for filters, so we hope those will meet your needs in the near future :) For automated recommendations: You can use the Admin's bulk editor to change the "Related products settings" metafield for your products. This should be a lot more efficient for you; more details here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/search-and-discovery/product-recommendations#edit-product-recommendations-in-bulk-with-metafields
gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
The app is awesome for creating filters and recommendations. Only wish there was a way to have the Search & Discovery app for offline products and/or on the Shopify POS.
This app does what it needs to get the job done when it comes to search and discovery. I would rate it for anyone else.
Works great; would rate this with five stars if it would be possible if you could change the way of filtering. Currently 'OR' is standard in the same filtergroup; would be great if there it is configurable to change this to AND (i.e. to narrow down options). I.e. If PC and Xbox are selected for Platform you would expect to see items that work on both PC and Xbox. Currently you see items that work on PC or Xbox.

Letting you know that we shipping a new "Logic" setting for certain filter types that will let you configure "AND" filtering logic. More information is here in the Help Center documentation: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/search-and-discovery/filters#filter-behavior:~:text=Customizing%20filter%20behavior
I downloaded the app and was impressed with its user-friendly interface. It's so intuitive that I would even be willing to pay for it. However, there is a significant flaw in the filtering feature that renders it useless for our needs. The problem lies in the static nature of the filters. For instance, if I select 'Brown' under the 'Color' filter and 'L' under the 'Size' filter, the app returns 'nothing found.' This is because the filters are not dynamically linked, meaning that the app does not take into account the relationship between the two filters. It would be great if the app could have a dynamic filter behavior where choosing values from different filters wouldn't result in the frustrating 'nothing found' message. For example, it would be helpful if selecting 'Brown' would automatically eliminate 'L' from the 'Size' filter, preventing users from encountering a dead end. Overall, the app has great potential, but the filter issue needs to be addressed to make it more practical for users. I hope the developers can implement a dynamic filter behavior soon.

Thank you for the review - happy to hear you find the app so useful! Regarding your request for filters to be dynamically linked: It is already possible for Shopify themes to show how many results a filter will return before it is applied, and those counts are updated as customers apply additional filters. If your theme isn't already taking advantage of this feature already, we recommend contacting your theme's developer for assistance on implementing it. You can test this feature on your own store by downloading any of Shopify's free themes and previewing it in your store as an unpublished theme.
Is there an add-to-cart button in the works for product recommendations/complementary products? It'd be beneficial to keep customers on one page!

Thank you for your feedback. The availability of this feature depends on the theme you are using. Please contact your theme developer for more information.
The Filters work fine and perform well as of now. Previous: The filters on my site stopped working As soon as they changed storefront filters to this app. Waiting for a fix then I might revise my Review.

Thank you for your feedback. We resolved a temporary issue and the filters are now working as expected in your shop.
When I logged a ticket (32415414) to complain about the fact that this app was installed without our consent, I was shown a log of our logins and told one of us must have installed it. Now I see in these comments SF admits to having installed it. Not cool guys. At least tell your support team what is going on so they can explain it to us.
