What is AddSearch?
AddSearch is a site search tool that helps website owners provide visitors with fast, accurate search functionality. Rather than relying on basic browser search or Google's site search, AddSearch indexes your website content and delivers results through a customisable search box that matches your site's design. The tool handles the technical side of search indexing and ranking, so you don't need to build search infrastructure yourself. It works well for content-heavy sites, documentation portals, e-commerce platforms, and knowledge bases where users need to find specific information quickly. The freemium pricing model means you can test it on smaller sites before committing to a paid plan.
