Suggest.io: Towards the Perfect Search

Live search for your site


Site search is a problem for most Internet resources. Creating your own search takes time and requires the skills of fine tuning the search engine. If the site owner is interested, in order for his search to remain relevant, he needs to have a specialist “at hand” who is constantly engaged in improving the relevance algorithm, index, query base, etc. All this is troublesome, supporting your own search requires serious expenses.

Suggest.io fills this gap. The new service came closer than the others to solving the problem of organizing a live search on a site with a minimum of installation time.
