Enhance the Search Experience on your website

‘Seek, and you shall find’ doesn’t always hold up when it comes to search functions on websites. Often, they work only moderately well, which is a missed opportunity. A well-optimized search function can lead to quicker conversions – whether it’s movie tickets, theater bookings, or soccer socks. With Algolia’s smart search capabilities, you can streamline the path to purchase.

Meet Algolia
With advanced search functionalities like typo tolerance, synonym recognition, and autocomplete, users can find relevant information faster with Algolia. A small typo no longer leads to “no search results” (and consequently: no conversion). Search queries are also sped up thanks to an intelligent system that auto-completes as you type. A nice added bonus: this external search service reduces server load, allowing visitors to search lightning-fast even during high traffic.

More benefits
The tool is easy to integrate into the search bar of your existing website. It supports almost any language, allowing you to serve a broader audience.
You also gain access to extensive statistics and search analytics, enabling you to continually improve your website and optimize search results using these insights.

How does it work?
After implementation, Algolia indexes your website’s data. A crawler scans your site to identify what people search for – and most importantly – what they want to find. This data is then structured, attributes and their relevance are determined, and Algolia connects search queries to search results (and the appropriate synonyms). Et voilà: your search function is significantly improved.
