Speed

Metrics such as relevance and recall are key to an efficient search solution, but speed is of utmost importance to enable the best search experience. This is particularly important for mobile device types, which are now primary.
dv-search was built from the ground up to meet the most stringent target SLAs for search:

  • Most API operations take only a few milliseconds to execute
  • Mobile ready
  • Stateless, horizontal scalability

    • Knowledge graph

    An important element of our dv-search solution is our domain specific knowledge graph. It helps understand how "things" are connected with one another, and contributes to making sense of search queries, thereby improving relevancy. It is continuously updated, to integrate new information and stay up-to-date with new trends.

    AI and Machine learning

    Machine Learning is used to improve search results relevancy based on signals received from shoppers. Combined with other data gathered offline, this process can dynamically change product rankings. Artificial intelligence is used to improve subjective queries. Key benefits are less reliance on manually mapping keywords and concepts to results, which run the risk of becoming stale, and instead, dynamically adjust and adapt based on new trends.

    REST API

    The use of REST APIs allows you to integrate dv-search in the way that makes the most sense based on your existing solution:

  • Direct integration with the browser, typically for typeahead
  • Integration with your existing search solutions, for example with spell correction or query augmentation
  • Full search solution. Complete with features such as aggregations (facets), filters or sorting.
