Uninstalling Rapid Search will leave some totally harmless code in your store.
Unfortunately, Shopify has no means to automatically remove integrated HTML code upon uninstallation of an app because as soon as the app is uninstalled they revoke access to the store so nothing can be done by the app anymore. The Shopify team has indicated that they are working on improving this process. You can check out Shopify discussion forums for more on this topic.
Clean up page
Go to Online Store > Pages, and search for “rapid search”. Then you can delete the one page appearing:
Clean up settings
We have inserted Rapid Search settings into the theme.liquid to speed up to loading process.
- Go to Online Store > Themes > Edit code
- Search for theme.liquid and open it
- Search for this Liquid code before the </head> and remove it from the file
{% render 'rapid-search-settings' %}
You have to repeat these points for all your themes, not just the active one.
Clean up the custom search bar
*Note: if you installed Rapid Search after 2023 November 27, you won't need to do this step as after our update we no longer insert this code.
If you used the old method and manually added the code of the custom search bar to your store, then you clean it up the following way:
- Go to Online Store > Themes > Edit code
- Search for header.liquid and open it
- Search for these Liquid codes and remove them from the file
{% render 'rapid-search-bar', mode: 'desktop' %}
{% render 'rapid-search-bar', mode: 'mobile' %}
You have to repeat thease points for all your themes, where you inserted the custom search bar.
Clean up template
The templates unavoidably left behind is harmless, however it can be removed by doing the following to keep things clean:
- Go to Online Store > Themes > Edit code
- Search for "rapid-search" and open the liquid files which appear
- Make sure you are seeing page.rapid-search-results.liquid, rapid-search-bar.liquid (if you were using the custom search bar feature) and rapid-search-settings.liquid. Click on the Delete button for both files
- You have to repeat these points for all your themes, not just the active one
