Easy to use, easy to understand.
What do you like best about the product?
I love how simple and easy to use their platform is. Our previous on-site search system was very complicated and didn't make it easy to see the low-hanging fruit. I also really enjoy utilize the result ranking tool and the analytics.

I do wish that you could get more of the synonym features without having to jump up to a much higher price point. We are a small company and just can't afford to spend that much on-site search.

We have gotten a lot better at analyzing the site searches our customers are making because Swiftype has excellent analytics and insights. We have also gotten a lot better at creating pinned search results so that we control what our customers find when they search on our site.

If you can afford it, I would suggest getting the enterprise version. It's a higher price, but you get more features.

Excellent Site Search Solution
What do you like best about the product?
Swiftype Site Search is very easy to use and I was able to implement the basic search functionality in about an hour. It's also very powerful and customizable to meet specific business needs. Their support has been very friendly and helpful when I needed additional assistance.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no way to customize the fields of indexed PDF and Word documents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our website needed to migrate off of unsupported Google search solutions to a more modern and powerful search solution. Swiftype has been very easy to implement and is faster and delivers more relevant results and advanced functionality not previously available with our previous search solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommended. Sure, it's possible to build a site search solution yourself from various open source solutions, but that requires a team with specialized knowledge capable of customizing, integrating, and maintaining the various pieces. Swiftype is a much more cost-effective turnkey solution in my opinion.
Developing with Swiftype is quite easy with detailed documentation and high-qaulity support
What do you like best about the product?
Swiftype's documentation is very extensive and thorough, which was extremely helpful in the development process. Support staff was frequently very quick to respond with detailed and helpful responses , not to mention a cheerful attitude, making for a pleasant experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
So much documentation did take a lot of time to digest. Perhaps the addition of of video step-by-step tutorials for the jQuery plugin integration might be helpful to first-time users of Swiftype's Advanced features.
There are numerous differences between Swiftype and Google Custom Search, which was in my experience the most popular custom search integration for many clients I had worked with. Since Google is deprecating their Custom Search product, I think that for clients switching form Google to Swiftype, a comparison article would be helpful in working on transition projects.

Customized site search with advanced filtering capabilities build with JavaScript using their jQuery plugins
A welcome oasis for a Google CSE migrant
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to shape and guide the returned results to ends that benefit your business model is well handled. Features in this area are what make Swiftype rise above simply replacing our Google services.
In the midst of set-up I've had the need to contact support and I always found them helpful and quick responding. Providing code samples and links to relevant resources.

What do you dislike about the product?
While Swiftype presents good value relative to their competitors it's still a bit uncomfortable getting used to a search service so much more expensive than Google. Again, not a Swiftype specific issue but just market reality.
Historically they used to have a low-cost tier for small WordPress sites and they've eliminated that from their model. I wish they still had that for my personal sites away from work.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were seeking a graceful migration off of our Google CSE services and ended up with a services that supports the use of site search in a much more business-model proactive way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're migrating from Google CSE and want to get parity functionality and then some without an overly complex integration process then Swiftype is worth checking out.
Easy to implement with good results
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it was to implement and how the search results are meaningful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how it used a hash tag on submit instead of a question mark. This made the implementation a little less intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a quick, easy search engine for our site without much overhead so our users could easily find what they were looking for while searching.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give them a try. They are doing some great work
