StackSearch

edit

StackSearch provides search-as-a-service tools to developers and e-commerce merchants.

First, qbox.io is a foundational product by developers, for developers who are constructing search applications. Qbox is Hosted ElasticSearch, eliminating the need for developers to install, maintain, patch, monitor, and scale their search infrastructure. Instead, you get an auto-scaled managed index with an endpoint. The indexes can be provisioned in seconds, and paid accounts get unlimited indexes.

On top of this foundational product, we built our e-commerce product search-as-a-service offering, which helps e-commerce merchants reduce site abandonment and increase conversions with best-practice search features that are, above all, fast. The product includes features such as auto-complete/auto-suggest, multi-select faceting, stemming, synonyms, field boosting, “Did You Mean?”, and other features that help your users drill down.
