almost triple price increase without warning
Searchanise was on our website for about 8 years. They had the best support, and in our opinion, the best searchengine. Unfortunately they have removed our pricing plan, blocking us from logging in to our searchanise admin page, even before the end-date of the plan. This was all without warning. When questioned why we could not access the panel page they said they had removed the price plan, and wanted us to move to the new plan. And still refused to give us access to the plugin's admin panel.It would go from 39 euro's per year to 33 dollars per month (so about 28 euro)! They wanted to give us a discount but that would still make it about 50 euro's per year. And we wouldn't know about the prices for next year. We have said goodbye and went with another populair plugin.

Support second to none.
I have to say that after being a long term user of Searchanise, for which we use on 10 sites now, we never have that many issues at all, i recently had a question "not a problem" and reached out to there support once again, in 48 hours i have the solution and solved my query.Thanks once again for your super service Andrew & Sophia.

Support lacking
Follow up: the problem was fixed after a couple of days. Better communication is needed. Original: Paid for subscription and now doesn't work saying not paid. Support is terrible and doesn't follow up

Excellent plugin, great support
I was looking for an ajax powered search plugin for a woocommerce store and came across this. It's so powerful and displays the results in a great way. It also provides a product category listing page that replaces the existing one, with smart filters that are dynamically created based on the products attributes.We had an issue with indexing 300k products, and support helped us with the issue, despite later realising the issue was with server settings and not their plugin.Great product and team - highly recommended

Incompatible with WooCommerce 8.2 and above
This plugin in not compatible with Woocommerce's HPOS and is useless in Woocommerce's version 8.2 or higher. I have tried to work with them for over three months in getting to them to update it and nothing. They keep saying that they are working on it.
