What Is Searchcraft?

Searchcraft is a highly performant, content-optimized search engine written in Rust. It aims to be faster, easier to implement, and easier to manage than Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Agolia and Solr with more accurate results for human-oriented content.

Why Did We Build Searchcraft?

Search is notoriously difficult and expensive to integrate. Competing solutions require large amounts of compute resources and have a steep learning curve for developers.

Our background was originally as technology consultants and we were often tasked with building search using these competing solutions for start-ups that did not have huge budgets and had get to market quickly. None of the existing solutions met those needs.

Developers integrating search will either need to already possess specialized knowledge or spend time in training to learn about search. Searchcraft aims to make the developer experience smoother with a lower cost and better performance. Companies should focus on building features that make their products unique rather than building search.

Searchcraft’s focus is providing a solution for human-oriented, content search rather than a one-size fits all solution for problems like logs and machine data.
