Shopify Search & Discovery

It works, but why would it be so limited to the number of filters? Each collection should have at least 5, if not 10, unique filters. This is the major reason why I am giving it only 2 stars. If it wasn't free, it would be 1 star.

The "recommendations" part of this app is almost unusable. Every page takes for ever to load and it keeps crashing all the time. We need to update the complimentary products for all our products and it's an absolute nightmare.

This app is good if your filter results will be relatively small. In my opinion the app has two major shortcomings, and both are only relevant if number of filter results for your store can be high.

1) Shopify limits the number of filter results to 100, which may be fine for most stores but is a major problem for mine. I have product metafields that are used to filter and these fields can have several hundred different entries but shopify will only display 100. Shopify suggests workarounds but it seems hokey to have Product Names A to F, Product Names, G to M, and so on. Just make the number 100 by default, but have the option to change it in the settings if needed.

2)Not having an option for a scroll bar in the filter results. Again, if you have a lot of options that will show up on your filter Shopify will display a certain number followed by a "show more" link. If the number of results is high, such as 90, your customers are in for a lot of scrolling.

I have tried many other platforms and most of them fall short in regard to product filtering with the exception of Ecwid. Their built in filters are really good, unfortunately the platform falls short with regard to product videos and cost.

I have conceded and am currently trying several 3rd party filters.
