Their complaint: bills that jump with every search and record
No meter.
A tenth of what you pay today, flat. Search as you type costs the same as search on enter, so nobody has to debounce a search box to save money.
Everything people wished Algolia did.
We read what customers say about it, and started from their complaints.
Their complaint: relevance tuning takes ages
Every result says why.
Type a search and read why each result is there. Pin one first, or hide it, right on the page.
Their complaint: fix one search, quietly break another
Tests for relevance.
Say what a search should find. Every settings change tells you at once what it broke.
Their complaint: a steep start with schema and ranking
It starts tuned.
Upload your records, and it works out what to search, what to filter by and what to rank on. Change whatever you like.
Their complaint: slow indexing
Found the moment it's written.
When the call returns, the record can be found. There's no queue to wait on.
Their complaint: searches that lead nowhere
No dead ends.
Searches that found nothing are listed first, with a one-click way to fix each. If nothing has every word, it shows what has some.
Change one line. Keep the rest.

Type something. Make a typo.
The demo is a coffee shop's catalogue with three thousand products, and one test that's failing so you can fix it.
