"SwifType search results are incorrect"

0/5

What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

We have installed Swiftype on about two dozen of our web properties and liked the administrative facilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

Unfortunately, and this is VERY SERIOUS, we have noticed that the search results returned by Switftype are incorrect. Some of the results that it SHOULD BE including for a given user keyword request are NOT included and some of the results that it IS including DO NOT match the keyword request.

We have worked with their technical support to no avail.

Unless you test your search results carefully, you wont notice this very serious flaw in the product.

Given that creating the correct set of search results is the basic function of this kind of product, this flaw means that Swiftype is unusable.

We are now in the process of converting to another product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bringing the most relevant content to the right audience"

4/5

What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

Excellent search solution that helps you to quickly connect your most relevant content to customers. The iOS and Android apps make it even easier to manage content and stay productive on the go. The result ranking tool is extremely useful, and support is second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

More of the synonym features would be great without having to jump up to such a great cost, but overall it is worth it for a site with a lot of content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Elasticsearch:

Utilise the Support Team if you have any questions as they are so helpful and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Elasticsearch solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to pull multiple search results from more than one source, allowing for greater, more customisable and relevant search results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid product, Excellent Support"

4/5

What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

Set-up and install was quick and easy, even for multiple sites. Customized result rankings are a key feature for us (although if you have a ton of results, it can be a little tedious to go through) that is also easy to use, along with the ability to create synonym sets for various search terms. Many of our search terms have variations or are easily misspelled, so the synonym set has greatly reduced the number of empty searches that users were experiencing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

Theming of the search bar and results isn't exactly intuitive and can require a little guidance. Some pieces could use an upgrade (such as the color picker) to make it easy to theme based on your branding guidelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Elasticsearch:

Customer service is fantastic, so don't be hesitant in reaching out to them with any questions, especially pre-sale. Take the demo they offer, it can really help you understand if this solution will work for you or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Elasticsearch solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a more customizable solution for pulling search results from multiple databases. Swiftype has allowed us to remove barriers we faced with custom search results and real time suggestions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect for content rich sites"

5/5

What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

A team of software developers that listen to your needs and are willing to work with you to get to a package you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

They only have an office on the west coast US, which means since our office is in the UK support can take a while to get back to me. I hear they are thinking of opening an office in Europe soon, so hopefully that will be rectified! I also hope they implement a custom search parameter for their Related Content feature - which although powerful is rather limited at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Elasticsearch:

Have a chat with them, they are really friendly and won't pester you if it turns out its not for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Elasticsearch solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have over 10,000 pages of content, building our own solution would take far too many hours. Swiftype's crawl is intuitive and 'smart', it takes the burden off the content managers shoulders and through built-in analytics we can create new search terms based on what is a trending topic on our site.

"Easy to use, easy to understand. "

4/5

What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Elasticsearch:

If you can afford it, I would suggest getting the enterprise version. It's a higher price, but you get more features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Elasticsearch solving and how is that benefiting you?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best search engine out there for REST!"

5/5

What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

Very good REST API support to search and index documents/ data. The documentation is pretty solid and verbose as well which makes it easy to understand and write queries. Very good support for issues. They even released elastic cloud recently which makes it even better to set up clusters and interact with your data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

Wish the REST browser plugin was still supported. But it's fine without it as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and straightforward search engine"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

I love how easy it was to get up and running. No one in my company had any previous experience with adding a custom search engine and with Swiftype we were up and running in 24 hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

I dislike the lack of control for differentiating between common words and strings of words. For example, a common problem we had is that a user would search for "gluten free" and a bunch of results would show up that included the word "free" but not the word shipping. This is likely a limitation of search in general, so idk if it's fair to hold that against Swiftype. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Site Search Solution"

5/5

What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

There is no way to customize the fields of indexed PDF and Word documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Elasticsearch:

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Elasticsearch 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.

"Better tool to replace Google Search"

3/5

What do you like best about Elasticsearch?

Swiftype is easy to install and can be quite powerful, depending on how you use it (results ranking, weighting). We use the Engagement Module as well, which is decent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elasticsearch?

Some limitations for styling that don't come out of the box. We had some issues with the Engagement Module pulling a different image (somehow it wasn't pulling the main blog header image) and that was a bit annoying to fix. There was ultimately a solution, but it was not very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Elasticsearch:

You can try Swiftype for a trial period before deciding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Elasticsearch solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were no longer able to use Google Site Search because they started placing ads in the search results, so we had to explore other tools. After exploring Swiftype vs. another tool, this one stood out because of the more robust features with result ranking. We were also able to achieve something we didn't even set out to fix, which was the desire to have a "related content" bar at the bottom of all our blog posts.
