But don’t just take our word for it...

Omnisearch has greatly improved our customers' search experience on our cpdstore.co.uk site launched using Thinkific. It has offered our users a slick faceted and full video transcript search functionality. The app was a super quick and convenient install too. The Omnisearch team was brilliant during the onboarding process. They have been open to many of our suggestions of product improvement too. We see them as our preferred search partner for our Thinkific sites.
