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.

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.

If we are searching the product using SKU its not showing accurate result like olden times. If you can fix this immediately it will be helpful

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。

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

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!

Works fine until June 2026, suddenly no longer able to search products by SKU. No support at all. Need to uninstall.

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!
