We’re excited to announce the upcoming launch of Silverstripe Search—a fully managed site-search solution designed to bring lightning-fast, reliable search capabilities to your Silverstripe CMS website. 

We’ve collaborated with Elastic to harness the speed, accuracy, and analytics of their Search AI platform(opens in new tab). Together, we’re delivering high-performance search results that lead to happy visitors and even happier content teams.

Why choose Silverstripe Search?

Our vision for Silverstripe Search started with a simple goal—to provide our clients with a seamless, efficient, and robust search experience. After years of integrating Elastic’s powerful search capabilities into our Enterprise Search Management for customers, we saw an opportunity to develop a managed service solution that fully harnesses the potential of Elastic while being tailored to Silverstripe CMS.

This new service is designed to meet the evolving needs of our users, offering flexible and easy-to-use search functionality without the need for dedicated staff and engineers. You'll accomplish more with less effort, all while feeling well-protected, allowing you to focus on creating the best experience for your users.

Key features and benefits

Fully managed service

One of the most compelling aspects of Silverstripe Search is that it’s fully managed. All the complexities of maintaining a search infrastructure are handled by our talented team. The service is built specifically for Silverstripe CMS, ensuring clean integration and optimal performance.

Powered by Elastic

Silverstripe Search is driven by the Elasticsearch platform. It’s known for its fast, accurate and intelligent search capabilities, making it the perfect underlying technology to drive our service. Users can use the power of Elastic to find information they need quickly and easily, enhancing their overall content experience. 

Analytics dashboard

Understanding user behaviour is crucial for optimising your website. With the analytics dashboard available in the Analyst and Architect plans, you can gain valuable insights into what your users search for and how they interact with your content. This data can be used to tailor your content, improve user experience, and promote specific results.

Easy integration 

Implementation is straightforward. We provide full Service Development Kits (SDKs) and developer guides to ensure a smooth integration process. All users receive a comprehensive resource pack, including an FAQ, best practices, and technical information to help you get the most out of your new search service.

Security and performance

Compliant with Silverstripe’s ISO27001:2022 controls, search content stored in our service is secured and reliable. This gives you the peace of mind of a mature security operation, managing the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your search content 24/7.

Future-proof

At Silverstripe, we’re committed to continuous improvement and innovation. Silverstripe Search is designed with future developments in mind, ensuring that it evolves to meet your needs. Potential enhancements include machine learning and AI functionalities, advanced security features, and more complex search suggestions.
