Our Story

We didn’t build Rapid Search to impress VCs. (We’re still a proudly bootstrapped business.) We didn’t sit around whiteboards mapping exit strategies. Honestly, we just wanted to build a search solutions that slays.Some of us are merchants — we’ve run the stores, handled the support tickets, watched conversion rates spike and stall. And some of us are builders — app developers at heart who care way too much about milliseconds, UX flows, and clean code.

We engineered Rapid Search to work, finally — for the people who run stores, and the people who shop on them. We noticed that a lot of merchants spend months tweaking ads, emails, and themes —while completely ignoring the fact that people couldn’t even find the products they wanted to buy...in a very cool-looking store. It was a huge — and avoidable — waste of time and resources.

That’s what lit the fire. So we started building something better. Together.First, for ourselves. Then for our friends.Then for anyone tired of seeing “no results found” when the product was right there. Today, Rapid Search powers thousands of ecommerce stores around the world.But at our core, we’re still just a small team chasing one idea: Make search so good, shoppers feel seen — not sold to.

What Makes Us Stand Out

Customizable Search Bar

A full bar instead of an icon? Branded like it was designed in-house? Floating? Fixed? Top-left?

You got it. Dev-free. Instant. Money-making. A well-placed, intentionally branded search bar can triple your usage rate. That’s not hype — it’s behavior.

AI Autocomplete + Typo Tolerance

Your customers don’t need to be perfect spellers — your search engine just needs to be perfect at selling.

Even when they:
- Misspell a product name.
- Use weird shorthand
- Type like they’re texting their cousin...

Rapid Search still gets it right — thanks to AI-powered language processing that thinks like your buyer, not like a machine.

Unlimited, Custom Filters

If your shoppers can’t find what they want fast — they’re gone.

With Rapid Search, merchants can add filters for color, size, tags, price — even niche-specific attributes that only make sense for your products.

- No code.
- No waiting on devs.
- Fully in your control.

Zero-Character Search

With Rapid Search, as soon as a shopper clicks into the bar, they’re greeted with relevant products, top categories, and trending keywords — instantly.No typing. No thinking. Just buying momentum from the jump.

Smart Merchandising Tools

Higher AOV. Cleaner shelves. More strategic sales. With Rapid Search, you can:

Promote bestsellers, Hide slow movers, Reorder search results to guide the eye exactly where you want it. It’s how you influence buyer intent — in real time.

Built for Shopify. Fits like a glove

We’ve earned the Built for Shopify badge — not as a generic plugin trying to duct-tape itself to your theme. That means better compatibility, cleaner installs, and a better overall experience.

Lite as a Feather

Every second of delay means buyers bouncing. Carts abandoned. Revenue lost. Google knows it. Shoppers feel it. Your bottom line reflects it. But with Rapid Search, you get the rare combo of: Conversion-boosting AI — without breaking your load times. The whole code is just 17 KB.

Out-Of-The-Box Theme Compatibility

If your search and filter functions look off — clunky, unstyled, or out of place — it kills trust instantly.

And when trust dies, sales die with it.

That’s why Rapid Search doesn’t just function out of the box —It feels native, blends in perfectly, and earns you that silent “this feels legit” nod from every visitor.

What Our Users Say

This is possibly the best search app on Shopify. The app works as described, definitely much and much better than Shopify native search as it always gives relevant search results even with typos.

This app is wonderful. The staff are a pleasure to work with. Woyong is great at helping and got everything / wanted done. The app itself works great and is easy to set up as far as the search filters. Looks great. Five stars! 10/10 I'd recommend always!

Been using this app since 2020 on our Shopify store and very happy with the search function - we have over 1000 items in stock so its important customers can drill down to find what they want. Even I use it to get to items quickly!

Great app with great features and lovely customer service people! I am mainly using this app for tag filtering- I have a lot of products - over 500 and counting and was able to use tags to create filters so people can find my products easier. It’s very easy to use - you just put in the general category and then list the tags you want displayed under that category. I had some issues with getting ...
