WiMakeIT radically improves Magento2 search

The problem: the limits of traditional search engines

Standard search solutions for Magento2 e-commerce sites quickly reach their limits, especially on sites with large catalogues:

MySQL Search is slow and limited, and completely unsuited to catalogues of several thousand products. Response times quickly become unacceptable and the user experience suffers directly.

ElasticSearch and OpenSearch, while powerful, have major drawbacks: they are extremely resource-hungry, require dedicated servers and complex configuration, and drive up hosting costs. On top of that, customising them takes in-depth expertise and weeks of development.

For B2B and B2C e-commerce sites managing catalogues of several million products, these limitations directly affect performance, user experience and, ultimately, conversion rates.

Faster, cheaper and simpler than native solutions

To meet these challenges, WiMakeIT has developed a solution that combines three decisive advantages.

⚡ Near-instant performance

Our search engine displays results in a few milliseconds, even on catalogues with millions of SKUs. Your customers enjoy a smooth, responsive experience, on a par with the world’s best e-commerce sites. No more frustrating waits: search becomes a real commercial asset.

💰 Lighter on server resources

Unlike ElasticSearch, which requires heavy infrastructure, our solution drastically optimises resource usage. The concrete result: lower hosting costs, with better performance. The minimal server footprint also means better scalability during traffic peaks.

🎨 Simplified customisation

The icing on the cake: our engine is much easier to customise than traditional solutions. You can adapt the search algorithms, result scoring, filters, facets and suggestions to your specific business needs, without weeks of development. This flexibility lets you truly align search with your commercial strategy.

Which sites is it for?

This exclusive solution is particularly well suited to:

• B2B sites with complex technical catalogues that require precise searches by part number, technical specification or compatibility
• Marketplaces where search performance is critical to the user experience
• Multi-catalogue sites managing several million products with varied attributes
• B2C online stores looking to optimise infrastructure costs while improving performance
• Multilingual sites that need high-performance search in several languages

Ultra-fast, resource-efficient and easy to customise, this technology has already won over several clients. The first site is live: www.kitandride.com
