AddSearch Scores $650K in Seed Funding

January 28, 2014

Finland’s AddSearch has picked up a hefty investment. A press release over at PRWeb reports, “AddSearch, Instant Search Tool for Websites, Announces $650k Seed Investment and Imminent Launch.” Founded last April, the company has set out to fix what is broken in site search. The write-up tells us:

“AddSearch is a lightning fast hosted search tool for any website, offering instant and accurate search results after the first keypress. AddSearch works across all devices, gives website owners complete control over their search results and is very easy to install….

“‘Website search is broken’, commented Pasi Ilola, AddSearch co-founder and CEO. ‘Existing search solutions for websites offer a very poor and slow user experience, often failing to provide the most relevant search result. Building and maintaining your own search functionality is highly expensive and time-consuming. That is why we created AddSearch – it is easy to set up for the website owners and it just works.'”

We really look forward to site search that functions well and is a pleasure to use, because existing systems really are terrible. Does AddSearch hold the key? The company is based in Helsinki, and is now (I imagine) pleased to be financially backed by Vision+ and Tekes.
