Sematext Search Autocomplete Updated
March 7, 2012
Here’s an update to a useful tool for any business with a Web site. So, pretty much any business. Digital Journal reports, “Sematext Releases Search AutoComplete 1.2.1.” The write up asserts:
Sematext Search AutoComplete helps businesses of all sizes improve their search by making it easier for potential customers to go from a blank search box to finding. Sematext Search AutoComplete (aka auto-suggest or search-as-you-type) is an advanced, cost-effective, search backend agnostic auto-complete package. It works equally well with open-source search servers like Apache Solr or ElasticSearch as it does with commercial search solutions like Endeca, Fast, Attivio, Google Search Appliance, etc. Sematext AutoComplete has been used in production and with great success by a number of Sematext clients across a number of industries.
See the article for the benefits touted by Sematext Search AutoComplete. Some highlights: the ability to interpret misspelled queries; the capacity to specify additional criteria; in-line targeted ads; and low memory and CPU footprints.
Founded in 2007, Sematext makes good use of open source projects in its search and analytics products. The company prides itself on being entirely self-funded, and boasts clients in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
By the way, the firm is also hiring.
