Search Integration Add-On
Fast, relevant site search on a cluster you own: sub-100ms responses, faceted filters, personalized results, smart synonyms and search insights.
From $2,000 a month
Search results decide who stays and buys
So they have to be fast, accurate and relevant. We default to Typesense Cloud on dedicated clusters, from a vendor with a SOC 2System and Organization Controls 2: an independent audit of how a service provider protects data Type 2 audit that signs HIPAAHealth Insurance Portability and Accountability Act: US rules for protecting health information business associate agreements.
For AI-powered neural ranking, visual merchandising or behavioral personalization that Typesense can’t match, we offer AlgoliaAdvanced search platform with AI-powered ranking and merchandising capabilities as a premium option.
Search Integration requires a Typesense dedicated cluster in an account you own, as a Mandatory Minimum Vendor ConfigurationMandatory Minimum Vendor Configuration: the minimum vendor plan required for TechTailors to deliver the advertised SLA and feature set. SLA guarantees are conditional on maintaining this configuration.. It gives your search single-tenant isolation and HIPAA eligibility; Typesense signs its business associate agreement on its Business support plan and above. Prefer Algolia? You need at least Grow Plus, and we encourage Elevate.
Free at 15+ billable pages
Static search for small sites
Not every site needs a search cluster. For content sites (practices, firms, portfolios, publications), we ship Pagefind, a build-time static search engine: free on every plan at 15 or more billable pages, and a one-time $250 Custom Integration below that.
- Built when you deploy: The index is generated as your site deploys and served as static files from the same edge network as the rest of your pages.
- Searched in the browser: Every search runs in the visitor’s browser: no vendor account, no runtime service, no monthly license and no Lighthouse cost.
- Made for content that changes with the site: Pages, posts and documents. The index rebuilds with each deploy.
- Catalogs need the full integration: Dynamic search over large or fast-moving catalogs, typo-tolerant merchandising and behavioral personalization stay with Search Integration.
Backed by two SLAs
What the integration covers
Discovery
- Faceted filters: Multi-level categories (brand sub-brand) let visitors drill down to exactly what they need.
- Zero-result fallbacks and smart synonyms: Fallback suggestions instead of dead ends, plus synonyms for brand names and industry jargon that keep visitors engaged.
- Real-time inventory: With E-Commerce Pro, inventory syncs in real time, so new products and price changes update in search results instantly.
Relevance
- Personalized results: We tailor results to each visitor’s location, browsing history and preferences, so the most relevant products and content come first.
- Personalized suggestions: “People also viewed” and “Similar items” sections, driven by browsing behavior and purchase patterns, to lift sales.
- Relevancy you control: Weight attributes such as brand, category or popularity so your top sellers or high-margin items rank first.Your bestseller should show first when someone searches its category, but default ranking is usually alphabetical or by date. Tuning relevancy moves the items you want to sell to the top of the results, where most clicks land.Your bestseller should show first when someone searches its category, but default ranking is usually alphabetical or by date. Tuning relevancy moves the items you want to sell to the top of the results, where most clicks land.
Scale and insight
- Built to scale: Search keeps up as your traffic and data grow, from thousands to millions of indexed items.
- Search insights: We pull out popular terms, zero-result queries and search-to-purchase data to optimize conversions and inform your content strategy. Add Analytics & Tracking to bring queries and clicks into your dashboards and see which terms or campaigns drive the most ROIReturn on Investment.
Every plan
Priced by indexed items and languages
Starting at $2,000 a month
If you meet any single criterion for a tier (indexed items or languages), your pricing moves to that tier.
- Standard: Up to 5,000 indexed items, English only $2,000 a month
- Growth: Up to 20,000 indexed items, up to 4 languages $3,500 a month
- Enterprise: 20,000–100,000 indexed items, up to 10 languages; beyond that, custom-quoted $5,000 a month
The fee covers setup, schema design, indexing and ongoing tuning. The search cluster itself sits in your vendor account, not ours.
