Instant search (Typesense)
What it does
Sub-100 ms as-you-type search with facets, synonyms and vernacular names — the premium upgrade over baseline search.
Instant search is the storefront experience upgrade: as-you-type results in under 100 ms, powered by a dedicated in-region search cluster, with facets and vernacular synonyms that plain database search cannot match.
Every store gets solid baseline search out of the box. Switching this add-on on moves your storefront to the instant tier — same search box, dramatically faster and smarter results — with typo tolerance, prefix matching and popularity-aware ranking.
How it works in your store
- Toggle the add-on in the console; your catalogue syncs to the instant index automatically
- Results render under 100 ms perceived, with typo tolerance and prefix matching
- Facets: category, purity, price band, gender, occasion, stones
- Vernacular synonyms across English, Hindi and Tamil scripts
- Queue-backed index sync: catalogue edits appear in search within moments, and outages never lose updates
- Tenant-scoped keys keep your index yours alone

Questions jewellers ask
What happens if I switch the add-on off?
Your storefront falls back to the built-in baseline search seamlessly — no dead search box, ever.
Where does the index run?
In-region (Mumbai), so round trips stay fast for Indian shoppers and your data stays in India.
Does it handle misspellings?
Yes — typo tolerance is built in, so "jumka", "jhumka" and "झुमका" all reach the same earrings.
