Website owners around the world can now install AddSearch to their websites for instant, predictive search that simply works

AddSearch, a Finnish startup that has built a solution for better search inside websites, today launched their tool to general public at the Slush conference in Helsinki, Finland. AddSearch is a hosted search that is lightning fast, works across all devices, offers instant predictive search results and gives website owners complete control over their search. The company recently received seed funding of $650,000 from Vision+, Tekes and the company’s founders.

AddSearch offers any website an easy-to-install search tool. It’s the fastest search for websites available on the market, and it provides accurate results after the first keypress. AddSearch also gives website owners more control over their search results: website owners can choose which keywords or pages of the site to prioritize in search results for highest possible relevancy. In addition, AddSearch works on any device, including desktops, tablets and phones.

“We built AddSearch out of frustration with existing in-website search solutions, which are clumsy, slow and visually unattractive”, commented Antti Ala-Ilkka, founder and CTO.  “After more than two years of development, we are really excited to release our tool to the public. Now any website owner can try AddSearch and experience first-hand the difference it makes compared to other existing solutions”.

“The design and user experience of websites have advanced a lot in the last five years, but search inside websites has remained virtually unchanged. As a result, searching on any website is typically very frustrating. We created AddSearch to put an end to the outdated search experience and give website owners a lightning fast and easy tool that simply works”, shared Pasi Ilola, co-founder and CEO of AddSearch.

AddSearch has been tested with Finland’s biggest publishing house, Sanoma, as well as with other companies and public organizations. AddSearch is free for small websites; for larger sites, a subscription fee is charged starting from $9/month.
