When you need this

  • Keyword search returns poor or empty results.
  • Shoppers leave when they can't find products.
  • Synonyms, typos, and natural-language queries aren't handled.
  • Your catalog is large and hard to navigate.

  • Natural-language, typo-tolerant, synonym-aware search.
  • Relevance tuned to your catalog and merchandising rules.
  • Multilingual search.
  • Integration with your storefront.
  • Analytics on queries and zero-result searches.
