What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants say this app delivers fast, relevant search that outperforms Shopify’s default and pricier competitors, especially for large catalogs. They highlight instant results, smart suggestions, typo tolerance, robust filters, B2B hiding, and multi-language/currency support. Many report better product discovery, higher conversions and AOV, and useful search analytics. It’s described as easy to set up, stable at scale, and backed by exceptionally quick, proactive support.

I really wanted to love this app, but it doesn't allow for filtering via variant meta-fields. I understand majority of business owners will use the product meta-fields, but for someone who deals with fragrances and many options, it would be easier for my customer base to drill down by mood, fragrance or scent family. I've reach out via email but have not received a response. Maybe if this feature is added in the future, I'll be back.

Thank you for your feedback, Jamila! We truly appreciate it and wanted to let you know that our team is working on adding variant metafield filtering, thanks to your suggestion. We expect to release this feature in the next 1-2 months. Please reach out if you'd like to discuss further, and we'd love to work towards earning a higher rating from you in the future.

Have a nice weekend! Matt from the Rapid Search Team.

I was initially critical of the system regarding how they count sessions, however I have to commend the customer service for getting in touch and doing all they can to alleviate my concerns and I am now a subscriber to the app. So credit to them for that.

I am still not a fan of the AI responses, as clever as it is (Very clever!) it lacks the human touch required when someone doesn't understand the subject in detail.

The app itself in my opinion is the best out there in terms of function vs simplicity, it is also a reasonable price.

I look forward to continuing to use the app.

Hello! We differentiate the pricing based on sessions, but the main statistics we provide are search statistics. Your screenshot showed ~2,4k sessions for the last 7 days so we can first assume that your monthly sessions exceed our Basic 1's plan that allows up to 5,000 sessions, but we will be more than happy to confirm this with you. :)

We just sent you an email to sort this out, we look forward to hearing from you.

We apologize for the confusion and frustration this may have caused!

Kind regards,

After installing the app, all my collection descriptions disappeared. I had to uninstall it.

Hi,

We’re very sorry for the inconvenience and frustration this caused at the time.

Since then, we’ve introduced multiple updates and improvements to ensure collection descriptions remain visible. The app has evolved significantly over the past year, with a strong focus on stability and seamless integration.

If you’re ever open to revisiting Rapid Search, we’d be happy to assist personally and ensure everything works exactly as expected:))

Kind regards,

Super happy to have switched from another filter App to this App - it does everything I need, and more. Super helpful staff who helped me integrate and customise the installation/set up (thanks Matt!) and ensured it was working perfectly and looking professional. I like how you can have filters for Tags and only show select Tags. Thanks so much for your help guys, I recommend the App to anyone.

I have to update my review. This app is extremely expensive compared to others, and the full price isn't listed on the info page. It can quickly go above $50/month, and goes all the way up to $340/month for unlimited searches. That being said, if you don't care about the price it's an excellent app, but there are others like it.

Hi!

Thank you for your review! Unfortunately, Shopify has limitations on the number of packages that can be displayed. The full pricing details can be viewed on a separate link, which is how most of our competitors handle this as well.

Compared to our competitors, we are more affordable for users with a large number of products. Unfortunately, this strategy is not working well in your case, I must admit.

We were happy to hear you have been satisfied with our product (despite the pricing).

Best wishes,
Rebeka from the RS team:)

Implementing Rapid Search has significantly upgraded the customer experience at Jackson Hole Fly Company. Our anglers can now pinpoint specific gear—from a particular fly pattern to a technical wader—with incredible speed and accuracy. The extended search, which includes our collections and blog posts, ensures that all our content is easily discoverable. The result has been a direct, positive impact on customer engagement and satisfaction. The integration was seamless, and the benefits were immediate. For any Shopify store, especially one with a specialized inventory like ours, I can't recommend Rapid Search enough.

We've been using this app for a while now & it's superb. The integration with Out of the Sandbox / Pixel Union themes is flawless & the support from the tech team is first rate. You really need this app to grow your store - it's worth every penny.

UPDATE:

4/3/25 They are trying to push us onto a higher price plan & have limited the smart search - other providers do not do this. Time to try another search app. Uninstalling....

Thank you for your feedback!
We sent you emails to better accommodate our service to your needs, we are looking forward to your reply.

We maintain full transparency around plan limits, with automated notifications at 90% and 100% of usage, as well as a small overage margin to provide flexibility before any limitation occurs.

Open communication is very important to us, and we remain available to work through this together.

Kind regards,

The app doesn't work with all themes. We also disabled the app for a few months, yet they still send us emails stating that we have reached 90% of our account's session limit and need to upgrade. Hmmmm, How is that possible if the app isn't even active on our website? If the app was active, I may have fallen for this and upgraded, shame on you guys for giving your customers false analytics.

Excellent app. Cant do without this app. We are selling mobile accessories. Its really essential for us to have robust search on our website. We get very good conversions everyday because of rapid search. This is a must have app if you have a big catalog.

5 stars! This app helps my business so much especially because it detects misspelled words and displays new products. I have used other search apps but this is superior and far better than the default search.
