About Typesense

Typesense gives builders search capabilities for apps, catalogs, documentation, and other structured collections. Typo tolerance, autocomplete, filtering, and facets help people narrow down results, while vector and semantic search support additional retrieval workflows. You can run the open-source engine on your own infrastructure or choose managed Typesense Cloud. Self-hosting has operating costs; Cloud charges for cluster resources and bandwidth, with a one-time introductory free allowance on eligible configurations. Start with the fields customers actually search and a small set of realistic queries. Inspect missing and irrelevant results, tune ranking deliberately, and keep permissions in mind when deciding which records a user may search.

Typo-tolerant product search

Offer search-as-you-type and autocomplete to help users find relevant records despite small spelling differences.

Filters, facets, and ranking

Let people narrow results by useful attributes and tune ranking to match the product search task.

Self-hosted or managed search

Run the open-source engine yourself or use Cloud with resource-based billing and a one-time introductory free allowance.
