Lower Infrastructure Cost

Searchcraft’s Rust-powered engine is ruthlessly efficient—requiring significantly less memory and CPU than traditional JVM-based search stacks. That translates to real-world savings: fewer servers, smaller clusters, and no need to babysit the JVM. Many teams cut cloud search spend by 40% or more—with zero compromises on speed or relevance.

Smaller Package Size

Legacy platforms are bloated. Searchcraft isn’t. Our installable binary clocks in at less than 10% the size of Elasticsearch’s full stack, with no external dependencies or complicated setup steps. That means you can deploy on-prem, in your VPC, or behind the firewall—fast. Your infra team won’t even blink.

Increase in Engagement

Users expect instant answers. Sub-millisecond query times and smarter relevance tuning mean users stay on-site longer, click more, and convert better. Search is no longer just a utility—it’s a growth engine. Early adopters saw a 2× lift in session depth and search engagement after making the switch.
