What customers think about Rapid Search

Real reviews from Shopify merchants on the App Store.

"Really like the way this app is so simple to get up and running, with great built-in guidance notes and links to more detailed instructions — but still gives a significant amount of flexibility and personalisation."

The Shredder Warehouse

"Possibly the best search app on Shopify, with many useful features on admin and fine results for customers. Much better than Shopify native search — it always gives relevant results, even with typos."

Cymbal House

"Only recently installed the app and already the support has been truly excellent. We needed a small amount of custom work and, without spending a penny, it was no issue. Genuinely a great choice for a superb search bar."

"The best search bar app in the app store. Period. An advanced search like this better assists your customers — something a lot of stores lack, but so important. The live chat support is insanely fast and helpful. Highly recommended!"

Frequently asked questions

How is Rapid Search better than Searchanise?

Honestly? Searchanise is a solid tool — it does a good job showing search results based on what people type. But Rapid Search is built more with conversions in mind. It's faster, more intuitive, and it prioritizes products that are more likely to sell. So instead of just showing all possible matches, it guides people to the right product — quicker. That small shift makes a big difference in the buying experience.

Can I control which products appear first in search results?

Absolutely. Our visual merchandising tool lets you pin specific products or boost entire collections to the top of search results for certain keywords. This is perfect for promoting new arrivals, high-margin items, or your best-sellers.

How do the analytics help my business?

Our analytics dashboard is a window into your customers' minds. It shows top search queries, popular products, and — most importantly — the "no result" searches. This data is gold: it tells you what products customers want that you don't currently offer, so you can optimize your catalog and marketing.

How long does it take to set up?

You can be up and running in under 5 minutes. Installation is a simple, no-code process from the Shopify App Store. Once installed, Rapid Search starts indexing your products immediately, and you'll see improvements right away.
