How to pick Elasticsearch alternative for WordPress?

Of course, Luigi’s Box is not the only advanced Elasticsearch alternative. What features and attributes should you consider when picking a better alternative for your WordPress website?

Search quality and features

While Elasticsearch offers great query support and cluster management that could be used to build your own site search software, it lacks a lot of features that are essential for any modern website. Typos fixing, automatic synonym detection in multiple languages, or no-search results prevention are the key features that you might look for when choosing a top-notch search solution.

Luigi’s Box provides all of the essential features and a lot of advanced ones at the top of it. Pin the products that matter to you to the desired position in search results, use dynamic facets to show more relevant products in the viewed category, and allow your users to use voice search instead of typing. There is much more that will make your website search better and more profitable.

Search quality and features
Easy integration

Easy integration

As we mentioned earlier, the popularity of WordPress is caused mostly by the ease of use that allows companies to focus more on content than maintenance of the website.

While Elasticsearch provides very extensive documentation for implementation, it would require the assistance of your IT department.

There are a lot of different options with easy integration available on the market. Luigi’s Box is definitely one of them, and it offers self-service, no-coding integration in four easy steps.

Price

Elasticsearch, as an open-source technology solution, is free. It means that you can create a first-class site search engine literally for free.

Unfortunately, Elasticsearch is not the ready-made solution that offers all the advanced features from the start, and it requires additional development, which could make it considerably costly and time-consuming.

If such a situation does not suit your requirements, look for solutions that will allow you to instantly leverage all of its advanced features and start increasing your revenues from the very first second.
