Who uses Searchanise Search & Filter?

Searchanise stores have very large catalogs. The median Searchanise store lists 680 products, one of the largest median catalogs of any app we profile. That is exactly the store that needs a dedicated search and filter app: once a catalog runs into the hundreds or thousands of products, Shopify's default search and collection filters are not enough for shoppers to find the right item.

Searchanise stores are also large businesses. About 25.4% run Shopify Plus, roughly 5.8x the rate across Shopify, and the median store runs 13 detected apps. A huge catalog, a high Plus share and a deep stack describe established retailers, multi-brand stores and distributors rather than single-product brands.

The United States accounts for about 49.5% of Searchanise stores, so 51% are based elsewhere. The United Kingdom follows at about 9%, Canada at about 8.4%, Australia at about 5%, Germany at about 4% and Denmark at about 2%. Canada is almost level with the UK, and Denmark in the top six points to a following among Danish retailers.

By category, Fashion leads at about 21% and Business and industrial follows at about 20%. Technology accounts for about 12%, Food and drink about 7% and Arts and entertainment about 6%. Fashion catalogs with many sizes, colors and styles, and technology and industrial catalogs with many specifications, are the two classic cases for faceted search and filtering.

The apps that show up next to Searchanise describe a mature retailer with a team and a budget. Searchanise stores run the Gorgias helpdesk 8.1x more often than the average Shopify store, Rebuy personalization 7.9x more often and Rise gift cards and store credit 7.8x more often. The Shogun page builder comes in at 7.0x, Stamped reviews and loyalty at 5.8x and the Microsoft shopping channel at 5.1x.

Put together, that is a store with a support team, personalized product recommendations, custom landing pages, a reviews and loyalty program, and product feeds into more than one shopping channel. For anyone selling to Shopify brands, Searchanise is a strong marker of a large catalog retailer with an established tech stack.

Searchanise vs Fast Simon

Other options

Rapid Search Bar & Filter, with 418 App Store reviews, Findter Custom Filter & Search, with 265, and TZ Product Filter & Search Bar, with 256, are other common choices. Smart Product Filter & Search is another filter app many Shopify stores consider.

Searchanise has a free plan, then Basic at $19 a month and Essential at $39 a month. Stores on Shopify Plus have a dedicated Basic for Plus plan at $49 a month. For a store with hundreds of products, those prices are modest next to the cost of shoppers leaving because they cannot find what they want, which helps explain why merchants often mention value in their reviews.
