Enterprise-Grade Search

Beyond lightning-fast search, Algolia empowers sites with product and content discovery, connecting users’ intent with WordPress content in innovative ways.

You Are The Algorithm

One the key factors in customizing content discovery through search is the underlying algorithm which surfaces content based on what the visitor searches for.

Should your blog posts show up? Should support articles be weighted more highly than your sales collateral?

Algolia provides a fully transparent ranking and relevancy algorithm that any user can understand and customize. You can control the content which is surfaced in search results based on the needs of your business without having to code those rules from scratch.

Scale Really Matters

With nearly 5% of all web users visiting a WP Engine powered website every day, we know quite a bit about scale. Offloading services like search is a great way to help boost the speed of your underlying web infrastructure, but that only matters if the service to which you’re offloading also scales.
