Product search that finds what customers mean in milliseconds, even across catalogues of hundreds of thousands of products.

If customers cannot find it, they cannot buy it.

Shoppers who use search are often the ones most ready to buy. Slow results, zero-result pages and irrelevant matches send them straight to a competitor.

We have integrated Typesense with CS-Cart for a multi-vendor marketplace containing hundreds of thousands of products, delivering instant, typo-tolerant results with filters that update as you type. The same approach works for any catalogue that has outgrown the built-in search.

What better search involves.

Index, relevance and interface designed together.

Index design
Which product data is searchable, filterable and sortable, and how it stays current.
Typesense integration
Fast external search connected to CS-Cart and kept in sync.
Instant results
Autocomplete and results that update as customers type.
Typo tolerance
Useful results even when search terms are misspelt.
Filters and facets
Refinements that match how customers choose products.
Relevance tuning
Ranking rules and merchandising control, tested on real queries.

Fast at any scale.

External search engines such as Typesense are built for speed and relevance. We design the index around your catalogue, keep it synchronised with CS-Cart and build an interface that makes the most of it.

We then tune relevance using the queries your customers actually type, so the right products rise to the top.
