Own your search
Smart search is core to your value: don't outsource it.
We help your org innovate in search and relevance. Whether it's Solr or Elasticsearch - let us empower your team!
We wrote the book
Good search understands a user's intent, not just what they type.
We wrote Relevant Search to help teams build smarter Elasticsearch and Solr applications.
One of the best and most engaging technical books I've ever read. — Trey Grainger, Lucidworks
Will help you solve real-world search relevance problems for Lucene-based search engines — Dimitrios Kouizes-Loukas, Bloomberg
Pioneers in machine learning
We built Elasticsearch Learning to Rank, which powers search at Yelp, Wikipedia, Snag, and others.
Since deploying learning to rank, we’ve seen a net 32% increase in conversion metrics across our historically lowest performing use-cases. — Jason Kowalewski, Sr Director of Engineering at Snag
Learning to rank can’t stay hidden away in obscure academic journals or multi-million dollar products. We’re making this stuff accessible to all search teams: opening up the black box for everyone to use”. — Doug Turnbull - OpenSource Connections CTO
We have the tools
We built Quepid, a search testing platform that takes the guesswork out of search relevancy.
Do NOT attempt a search project without it. — John Bickerstaff

Opening up search is an ethical imperative
Doug turnbull on January 23, 2020
Human beings search more and more. Continuing to treat search as some mystical voodoo is untenable and must stop.
Come see Doug at Elasticsearch Learning to Rank - Search as an Machine Learning Problem at the Triangle Search Technology Meetup
February 26th, 2020 | FITCI, 118 N Market Street Frederick, MD 21701, USA
We will discuss how search can be treated as a machine learning problem. 'Learning to Rank' takes the step to returning optimized results to users based on patterns in usage behavior. We will talk through where Learning to Rank has shined, as well as the limitations of a machine learning-based solution to improve search relevance.
