Why We Built Searchcraft

Hey, I'm Don, one of the co-founders of Searchcraft. Wanted to share with you today a little bit about what we're building.

Searchcraft is a precision search tool for front-end developers. We're offering both a cloud and a downloadable version. We built it because we feel like search is difficult.

It's difficult in both, you need specialized knowledge about search, as well as back-end engineering expertise for infrastructure and scaling.

We also feel like the existing solutions out there are slow, they're written using algorithms from the 90s, and they're all written for the most part in Java.

So, when we took our approach to building a new search solution, we built it in Rust, with a focus on performance and memory safety.

There's a bunch of front-end SDKs and platform integrations available, so you can get it up and running quickly with your app.

So, if you want to try it out, go to Searchcraft.io today, you can sign up for an account, and we're giving away access to both the cloud and the downloadable version.

Thank you.

Inspired by Real Problems, Engineered for Real Progress

With decades of experience building scalable apps and platforms, we saw how critical it is for front-end developers and product teams to move quickly, do more with less, and iterate toward traction. But the legacy search tools we relied on required back-end expertise, extensive customizations, and high maintenance costs, often making it difficult for lean teams to succeed.

Searchcraft was born out of this frustration. We envisioned—and built—a better way forward: a high-performance, developer-first search solution designed for the speed, flexibility, and scalability modern teams need. Our SDKs empower developers to integrate powerful, customizable search with ease, enabling them to focus on what they do best—delivering great products to their users.
