Omega Instant Search edges out Searchanise Search & Filter on rating (4.9★ vs 4.7★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.
Pricing entry tiers: Omega Instant Search at Free plan available, Searchanise Search & Filter at Free plan available. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
Searchanise Search & Filter has the larger user base (1,255 reviews vs 134), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Omega Instant Search's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Omega Instant Search; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Searchanise Search & Filter's 1,255-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Omega Instant Search's broader-but-shallower coverage.
