Crawlie Search is a site search tool that enables instant, typo-tolerant search functionality by leveraging data from website crawls. The service is designed to allow users to quickly set up search on their sites without managing a separate indexing pipeline. It offers both a ready-made search box widget and a JSON API, providing flexibility in how search can be integrated into a website. The tool uses BM25 ranking for relevance and is described as being capable of delivering search results in approximately 30 milliseconds. Features highlighted include typo tolerance, multi-site support, route-scoped queries, and the ability to surface top queries and content gaps. Crawlie Search is intended for those who have already run crawls on their sites and wish to add search capabilities without incurring additional indexing overhead. The platform mentions that there are no per-record or per-query fees, and pricing is based on the number of pages crawled. While the service is free during its beta period, further details about long-term pricing are referenced as being available on a dedicated pricing page. Users can invite teammates, suggesting collaborative features, though specifics are not detailed in the evidence. The delivery model appears to be web-based, with options to add the search widget directly to a site or interact with the search functionality via API. No information about required platforms, integrations, or supported content management systems is provided. Crawlie Search positions itself as a solution for implementing fast and typo-tolerant site search directly from crawl data, without the need for a separate indexing process.
