If search is core to your product or your operations, you are making consequential decisions on top of it every day — what to build next, what to buy, where relevance is costing you conversions or hours, and whether the architecture will hold as you scale. A search health check gives you an independent, expert read on all of it before you commit budget or engineering time to the wrong fix.
This is a fixed-scope search audit run alongside your engineering, product, and leadership teams. We review what matters for your system — and not every system needs every area — then deliver a written report with prioritized, actionable recommendations and a readout with your team.
Run by practitioners who built search
Search is at the center of what we do. The review is led by Grant Ingersoll — co-founder and former CTO of Lucidworks, a core Apache Lucene and Solr committer, OpenSearch contributor, and author of Taming Text. For deep relevance and search-quality work, we bring in Daniel Tunkelang — founding Chief Scientist at Endeca, former Director of Search at LinkedIn, and author of Faceted Search. Few teams anywhere can put that depth on your search problem.
Two tiers, one fixed price
Most engagements start with the Search Health Check — strategy, architecture, implementation, and operations, with a relevance best-practices review. When relevance and ranking quality are key to the product — when customers feel the difference between a good result and a bad one — the Search Health Check + Relevance tier adds a comprehensive, measurable search relevance audit: evaluation, retrieval, ranking, query and content understanding, and result presentation.
Both are fixed-scope and fixed-price, with a written deliverable and a findings readout. Use the form below to tell us about your search system and where it hurts, and we will scope the right tier and confirm a price.
