Search & Discovery helped with what I was looking for and knew others probably were too! I had hope finally that my store would succeed !!!

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!

I think it's a really great website feature. I have a university boutique that basically sells one color of item that comes in many shades so I think it's useful to recommend things that will match or coordinate with other pieces. I can't really tell if it helps sales or not but it looks professional and I'm good with that.

There is no add to cart button in the search results. This should be a default feature. (Refresh Theme).

The good things are tha this app is free but it still can be improved. Sometimes if you dont use the quotation marks with more than 1 term or AND / OR which most clients don't know the results that come up are weird. i had to put an info bar about the header explaining how to search with quotation marks, AND / OR so that the results are much better. This should be done in a more intuitive way with options inside the search bar so you don't have to add all that info in another place. AI should also improve with time. I hope to see more development and more options to refine this search tool. I have not tried it out with thousands of products, so do not know how it delivers in that situation

Not able to auto-collapse filters. Not able to set different filter sets for different collections. Not able to use sliders for number values other than price.

Not suitable for large shops. 200 filter values are possible, but only 100 are displayed. I don't understand why. Conclusion: a shop with more than 100 brands, for example, will not be able to use the filter effectively. Addendum: Maybe the product is called A8000, a search for 8000 will not find this product. Such a search is completely useless.

It's an excellent add-on to your exiting product selection and the best part is that you can customize the filters according to your products' type.

Lot's of errors in the search. Not organized if you have a lot of products. Messy looking. You have to scroll & scroll to view the searches. Does not work with keywords.

there doesn't seem to be support for metaobject templates in search, so the site won't index the pages using those templates. I'd like to find if there's a workaround but can't seem to get any help.

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.

It helps me understand what other fields do and it shows me how can it help me. Who came up with this is a genius!

Ich kann keine maximalen Werte für die Filter hinzufügen. Ich erstelle einen großen Webshop und habe 75 Werte für die Filter, aber ich kann nur 25 hinzufügen.

I love Jeremec 16" deep wave wigs and bulk braids, and they’re amazing! The wigs are soft, natural-looking, and offer great versatility. I would also like a preview option on draft filters so we can do something like setup a large meta field ...
