Enterprise search with AI ranking, A/B testing, and recommendations — batteries included.

Best For

E-commerce and enterprise teams needing production-ready search with built-in AI, A/B testing, and analytics.

Key Features

NeuralSearch: hybrid keyword + semantic search
Industry-leading UI components (React InstantSearch)
Built-in A/B testing for ranking experiments
ML-powered Recommend product
Instant search (sub-100ms at scale)

What It Doesn't Do

Not ideal for: Small teams or budget-constrained projects that don't need enterprise search features — use Meilisearch.

  • No self-hosted option — vendor lock-in
  • Expensive at scale versus self-hosted Meilisearch or Typesense
  • Advanced features (NeuralSearch, Recommend) cost extra
