I have to say that the module works fine by itself and besides that, the developer is very helpful, efficient and trustworthy.

Thank you !

Can break your site

Really disappointed with this extension.

If you want to use it with text fields this is the developer reponse:

"You need to use k2 extrafields with pre-defined values (not text) for

working fine with slider and other not text search fields (drop-down)."

So DOES NOT SUPPORT IT. This is not in the extension information before purchase it.

But the most dangerous thing is that if you use it with 6+ extrafields (in my case) then the native K2 finder plugin cannot reindex the K2 items when creating/editing and YOU CANNOT SAVE K2 ITEMS ANYMORE because the script execution time exceeds the default 30 seconds.

You have to disable the finder plugin, decrease the extrafields used in the module or modify your server configuration to increase the script execution time.

That REALLY RELEVANT INFORMATION wasn't also in the extension info. Breaking the K2 functionallity isn't enough relevant to warn users...

The support answered the email 48h after reporting the issue. So after spending my money I had also to spend my time debugging it to solve the K2 issue and keep my site working.

Owner's reply: Hello, digitaldisseny.

In fact, the problem is that you do not want all to understand better.

1) Work with text fields

It is support it, but it is needed easy manual adjustments.

2) "YOU CANNOT SAVE K2 ITEMS ANYMORE"

This issue can not be associated with this extension, because the module and plugin part does not affect to K2 functionality in save/edit items.

Great module from the excellent developer!!

The module extends the functionality of times in the search component K2. I recommend this module to change the default search is always a component K2.

Developer helps in many areas after the purchase. Helped me to understand and Free finalized by the module I needed feature.

Great Plugin, Great Support. What more to ask for?

As some have said before, the module's interface and a lack of documentation can stump you for awhile or longer. But once you grasp the module, you will realize how extensive it is and thus the interface.

Also, Andrey happily welcomes you to contact him if you encounter any issue. But unlike most developers I know thus far who just tells you it can't be done with their plugin/module, Andrey doesn't just stop at what his plugin/module can do. He attempts to understand my needs and how I wanted the plugin/module to function, then before you know it, he happily customizes his plugin to support my peculiar needs and implemented it for me in the backend, constantly following my emails and adjusting his code until everything is perfect.

I've never been so happy with a plugin purchase until now. This is truly the best I ever bought. 5 stars! Oh, I kept saying plugin/module because it comes together =)

Good extention, works well

I've been using this extension with K2 and I think it works well. I'd read support was good, but I didn't need it, so all the better. I though it was all fairly self explanatory in set-up and use too.

One thing to mention, the set-up of the module does not totally fit in with what you might expect in relation to making template overrides. It is customizable via overrides, but not all of it, so I did have to modify the module itself for a couple of tweaks. That said, that's a minor gripe, and on the whole it it excellent.

Excellent product, best support

I have never encountered a support so professional. Andrey goes far beyond what one can expect. The product is superb but just a bit confusing to make it run at first, nothing major.

Overall: Excellent. I´m willing to use/buy his other products

Best of its kind!

I'm really impressed with this module!

The search module is already great by itself, but I needed it to do specific things that wasn't possible right out of the box. Andrey is probably the nicest and most helpful developer I have ever come across. Since the module didn't exactly work like I wanted it to, Andrey actually customized the module to fit my needs! He actually took the time out to help me get what I wanted and I could not be any happier. Thank you Andrey!

Best support
