Instant Search is able to deliver as-you-type results from the first keystroke. Double your conversion, increase customer satisfaction and let your visitors find what they are looking for at lightning speed with Afosto Instant Search: The advanced digital search solution for website owners. Instant Search helps website visitors find what they are looking for and allows website owners to customise the search results based on analytics. This will increase conversions, improve the customer satisfaction and reduce the burden on your help desk. Are you frustrated by a slow search function and irrelevant search results on your website? A common problem for website owners is the inability to display relevant search results in a timely and clear manner. Most search solutions do not give you the possibility to adjust rankings, and when confronted with large databases they are slow and not user-friendly. With Afosto's Instant Search you get lightning-fast search results that update as you type. You are able to search through different sources with one search query. For example, you can search through pages, product catalogues and helpdesk articles with one search field for the user. You will also be able to adapt the search results to the wishes and needs of your website visitors on the basis of big data. This will increase sales, reduce helpdesk load and improve the user experience of your site. With handy dashboards, you know exactly what your visitors are searching for. You also have insight into what they cannot find and what they click on. With this data, you can work to improve your search settings. Create your free Afosto account to get started. After you have created your account, you can install the Instant Search app from your dashboard and follow the onboarding steps. If you need help implementing Instant Search, we or one of our partners can help. * * * Seller [Afosto](https://www.g2.com/sellers/afosto) Discussions [Instant Search Community](https://www.g2.com/products/instant-search/discuss) Languages Supported English, Dutch Overview by Sander Kah Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Instant Search. ### Free Forever Free 100 Documents Per Month ### Starter €9.00 1000 Documents Per Month [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/instant-search/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Insider One](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Insider One") Insider One 4.8/5(1,415) ](https://www.g2.com/products/insider-one/reviews) [ ![Bloomreach](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Bloomreach") Bloomreach 4.6/5(775) ](https://www.g2.com/products/bloomreach-bloomreach/reviews) [ ![Doofinder](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Doofinder") Doofinder 4.7/5(514) ](https://www.g2.com/products/doofinder/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/instant-search/competitors/alternatives) ![Roelof Jan E.](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Roelof Jan E.") RE Roelof Jan E. Owner Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/29/2022 "Breeze to set-up and quick integration" 5/5 What do you like best about Instant Search? I'm using the Instant Search Widget on my website and integrating that was a breeze! I just included the JS and CSS scripts on my website and it magically worked! Adding search results to Instant Search was also easy, because you can use a CSV file to source the search engine. So now it's automatically picking up any changes I make to the CSV file and it makes them searchable on my website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Instant Search? The widget comes with 2 great templates to display the search results, but I can't specify my own template to display the search results a little bit better. Still, the included templates work well for me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Instant Search solving and how is that benefiting you? Instant search is making my content more discoverable on-site. I've had many people reach out with questions about content that's on my website and very SEO friendly, but they can't find it on the website, only on Google. Instant search now helps them find the content they need without leaving the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Current UserValidated ReviewerSource: Organic EB Edwin B. Founder Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/22/2022 "Advanced filtering for my website search with fast results!" 5/5 What do you like best about Instant Search? The speed of search and ability to adjust filtering after searching based on our specific product set. The ability to add pages as well as products to one search engine is a nice feature as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Instant Search? I had to learn a little before I fully understand how everything works but Afosto helped me understand the settings and even set up some test data for me to get a good understanding of how instant search works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Instant Search solving and how is that benefiting you? Before we had instant search our search results where not that relevant because of the lack of good product data in the system. With instant search we are now able to let visitors search for specific type numbers, which is very relevant in our business. To find the products they need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
