Searchanise is a site search, filtering and merchandising app for online stores. It adds autocomplete, suggestions, instant results, product filters, recommendation blocks and analytics reports to a storefront. The company says more than 16,000 companies use it.
The company was founded in 2013, starting with a Magento extension, and now lists Shopify, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Magento, CS-Cart, Wix and custom platforms. It also offers companion apps for product reviews, upsells, trust badges and an LLMs.txt generator.
How does Searchanise work?
After installation, Searchanise indexes products, collections, pages and blog posts, including metafields. On Shopify, product data syncs through webhooks every 2 minutes, with Shopify API checks every 10 minutes and scheduled sync also available.
Merchants then customize widgets with built-in settings or their own CSS and HTML, tune merchandising rules and filters, and watch search performance in the analytics dashboard. The company says setup needs no coding and takes about three clicks.
