Swiftype is fantastic. I've been using their service to power search on my Octopress blog since last May when they were still in Beta, and I've loved every moment of it.
Their REST API is also fantastic; I've modified my deploy Octopress rake task to automatically hit the endpoint that requests a recrawl of my site so that the results are always up to date. At first I felt a little dirty doing it, but I engaged them on Twitter (this was last year when I first implemented it, too lazy to find the records) and they actually encouraged it. A great team, and a really awesome product.
- gcb0 13y agoTheir pricing plan only list on demand crawl at the top tier... i assume you have a very big blog?
- dljsjr 13y agoI don't, now that you mention that it's entirely possible that my crawling scheme doesn't work anymore. The beta was 100% free and I didn't pay much attention to what changed when the beta ended.
- qhoxie 13y agoWe still allow this. You are just more limited in how frequently you can do an on-demand crawl with the free plan versus a paid plan. You can also ping our API to update a specific URL immediately, which is really helpful is cases like this.
