Searchanise: Search for e-commerce, free of charge (without SMS)
Hi, Habr!
We present to your attention Searchanise - a search service designed specifically for online stores. Free, very, very.
The project is already far from testing, but quite in production: right now, one and a half thousand online stores use Searchanise. And this is only the beginning (at least we hope so).
')
For an online store, fast and relevant search is super important. The faster the visitor finds what he is looking for, the higher the likelihood that he will buy it.
Moreover, searching the store is more than just searching. A good store uses a drop-down widget under the search field to display not only relevant search results, but also promotions, discounts and just advertising (within reason, of course).
Making a good search for an online store is very difficult. There are many nuances that must be taken into account, and which the outsider will not even think of. For example, the price of a product may be different for the logged-in user and guest, it may or may not include taxes, and combined products can be considered as one product with different options, or many different products. In addition, the search should not be deceiving - information should always be fresh; if any product ran out a minute ago, then now it is not necessary to prompt him.
Making a good search for an online store is very difficult.
Making it for all stores at once is even more difficult.
But we could.
Searchanise can work with any store. Instant search tips and product search, customizable appearance, a lot of settings - now not only giants shops can afford it!
For X-Cart, Magento and OpenCart there are ready-made free modules, and in CS-Cart the Searchanise module is included in the default distribution.
This is what an instant Searchanise search looks like on the site of one of our clients :
At the very top are smart search tips based on an analysis of the catalog and popular queries, below are found items with calculated prices on the fly, at the very bottom is “Show All”, a link to full-text search.
Full-text search supports filtering results through facets (tags) and filters (an example from the store of another of our clients ):
The Searchanise admin panel is built right into the admin of the store itself and looks something like this (example from Magento):
In the admin panel, you can change the appearance of the drop-down widget (colors, fonts, etc.) and adjust the search parameters (both “live” and full-text).
Searchanise Pro subscribers (see below) also have the opportunity to use their own HTML content in a drop-down widget, set up redirects for keywords, synonyms, and much more.
Our service is free for any stores up to 100,000 in size. Yes, and this restriction is more of a technical nature - just stores of this size begin to interfere with the rest of the server quickly indexed.
We recently introduced Searchanise Pro , which includes some very useful additional features. The word "additional" is allocated for a reason - the search was free and will remain free (the boy said - the boy did).
Subscription to the Pro package is very liberal - $ 9 per month for those who have one search engine (i.e., one window with one language), $ 17 per month for those who have more windows and / or languages.
At the very beginning, we made a decision that it is more interesting for us to make not custom decisions for several dozen clients, but something that tens of thousands of people will use. Therefore, Searchanise was originally created as a free service. Due to this, we were able to quickly recruit many users on different platforms and gain a positive reputation in the respective communities.
To be honest, at first we didn’t even have a monetization plan - we just did a good search.
Our task isto search for 20% steeper the constant improvement of the service and expansion of the user base. We dream that Searchanise in e-commerce search becomes WordPress in blogs. Ambitious, but how else?
We are pleased to answer your questions and listen to criticism in the comments.
Thank!
