What is Typesense?

Typesense is an open source, typo tolerant search engine that delivers fast and relevant results out-of-the-box.

Typesense has been built from scratch to offer a delightful, out-of-the-box search experience. From instant search, to autosuggest, to faceted search, Typesense has got you covered.

A couple of highlights:

  • Typo Tolerance: Handles typographical errors elegantly, out-of-the-box.
  • Simple and Delightful: Simple to set-up, integrate with, operate and scale.
  • Blazing Fast: Meticulously architected from the ground-up for low-latency instant searches.
  • Tunable Ranking: Easy to tailor your search results to perfection.
  • Faceting & Filtering: Drill down and refine results.
  • Grouping & Distinct: Group similar results together to show more variety of results.
  • Scoped API Keys: Generate API keys that only allow access to certain records.
  • Curation & Merchandizing: Pin particular records to a fixed position in search results, to highlight them.
  • Raft-based Clustering: Setup a distributed cluster that is highly available.

Also offers a hosted SaaS offering that runs the same open source version.
