Stores
One document per product, variants folded in. Shoppers filter by category, brand, price, tags and availability and sort by relevance, price or newest. The key stays on the server, never in the browser.
CMS sites
Content, media and members indexed as editors publish, with cultures, segments and protected content respected. Load-balanced sites share one collection. Umbraco today; tell us which CMS is next.

Questions
Can I search products with variants?
Yes. Index one document per product with its variants folded in, and filter on size, color, price and availability.
How fast do price and stock changes show up?
Within seconds on Starter, and within a few minutes on the free plan.
Can I try the relevance before I install anything?
Yes. The live demo searches the Amazon ESCI and Wayfair WANDS catalogs and scores judged queries against human relevance labels.
