Simple and accurate search tool

  • April 19, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that the customization and weighting of search results is easy to update and change. If I want to make sure that a result is prominent for a search or absent for a search it is very easy to control.

Some of the installation instructions and steps are a little confusing for the amateur. I wish it were a little more user friendly in this regard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Swiftype allowed me to put an easy to customize search tool on a small website with very little cost.

So fast

  • March 30, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The speed is incredible. Querying 2 billion or more documents usually returns results in less than 500ms, and sometimes way faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
Understanding why some queries are slow while others are blazing fast isn't very intuitive sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Querying big data in the fastest way possible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try, especially if you're still on MYSQL and the database is becoming a bottleneck for performance

Search made simple

  • March 08, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Swiftype team is incredible responsive and they helped us in every step of the Search integration. As a tech publication, we need to be able to deliver real time results and make sure users are always able to find what they are looking for.

Swiftype provides full control over exactly which search results appeared for our most important queries, while also being flexible enough to integrate with our database structure.

In addition to that, Swiftype’s crawler was able to index the site by extracting directly the data from the website’s HTML, so we didn't have to spend time on that.
What do you dislike about the product?
When we launched the new search results, the only missing feature was a big analytics dashboard to measure the impact of the search results. After speaking with the team, the worked on a dashboard that was release short after. Thanks to that, we were able to have a much deeper understanding of who their readers are, where they come from, and what they are looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Engadget was running multiple backend databases and facing issues related with the search results. By implementing the Swiftype Engine we were able to customize those results, remove duplications and offer real time suggestions based on a combination of our databases.

Elastic search is a great tool for searching across a large body of documents.

  • May 31, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
ES is easy to get up and get running. Building a multi node farm is also fairly easy. The community around Elastic Search is growing and very helpful if you reach out with questions as your getting setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
There seems to be some inconsistency when it comes to query performance. While initial setup of environments seems easy there are some gotchas that you really need to read through the documentation completely in order to avoid.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are utilizing Elastic Search to build our Enterprise Search web application that searches across our internal employees, documents, and social content (blogs, microblogs, videos, etc).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pay attention and read through all of the documentation in the starter guide as well as the performance recommendations.
