Say hello to the search API that understands your customers as well as you do.
Our approach combines semantic search with keyword search. So your customers can find precisely what they’re looking for in milliseconds — while you surface under-exposed content.
A query can relate to more than one category. So “tomato” might mean a sauce or fresh produce and “Burgundy” could be a region, a wine, or a color. Our AI algorithms predict and show results from the the most likely category, improving relevance and boosting customer outcomes.
Use AI to identify and boost popular content to stay on top of what’s trending - whether that’s driven by world events or what's hot at the moment.
Tailored results lead to higher engagement. Our AI can personalize search results, product listings and recommendations to every user.
Index your content in minutes with our API clients (available in a variety of languages and frameworks). If using ecommerce platforms (like Shopify, Commercetools, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Adobe Commerce, or BigCommerce) you can populate your index using our partner integrations.

Search as quick as you type, with the fastest enterprise AI search we know of.
Work with a partner who handles 30 billion records and nearly 2 billion searches a year with 99.999% availability.
Both solutions use large language models (LLMs) to provide results, but they solve very different problems.
For example, in the context of ecommerce search, an AI chatbot can act like a virtual sales assistant to discuss what you’re looking for. With AI search, it’s as if the sales assistant is ranking the top items based on personalization, rules, merchandising, top performing results, past purchase or search history, or other factors you’ve identified as important.
Really fast. Most of our search queries take from 1 to 20 milliseconds to process. That’s up to 200 times faster than our competitors.
That said, query performance depends on many factors, from the size of the data you’re searching through to how CPU-intensive a query is. For example, features like geo-sorting and distinct are more “expensive”.
An index is the place where the data used by a search engine is stored. An index is to search what a “table” is for a database. Unlike a database table, an index is optimized for search operations. For example, in an ecommerce website, the index would be a complete list of all products with a custom ranking.
Our engine is language-agnostic: it supports alphabet-based and symbol-based languages (such as Chinese, Japanese or Korean).
This is no easy feat, considering all the little and big differences languages have, from being based on symbols from different alphabets like Japanese or using many variants of the same stem like in German. So we added advanced capabilities to handle the specificities of such languages.
Algolia AI Search can power search for any kind of content. Actually Algolia doesn’t directly search in your original data source, but in the data you submit, which Algolia hosts on its servers.
Search APIs are software components that allow developers to seamlessly introduce search capabilities to websites and applications. They provide backend tools for indexing documents, querying various types of data, managing cluster configurations, viewing search analytics, and more.
