Search that understands what you mean.

Vibe Search is a search and discovery module for ecommerce. It combines keyword matching, semantic understanding, and interactive exploration in one index. Shoppers find products by what they mean, not only by what they typed.

Built on proprietary embedding technology. Drops into your stack via a plugin API.

Traditional search matches keywords. A shopper types "navy work coat" and only sees products with all three of those words in the title or description.

Vibe Search reads the intent. It understands that "navy work coat" might also mean a structured dark blue overcoat, a tailored peacoat, or a layered office-ready jacket. It surfaces products that match the meaning, not the exact words.

Keyword search returns what was typed. Vibe Search returns what was meant.

Traditional search infrastructure indexes and ranks documents based on keywords, filters, and tunable relevance rules. You configure the matching logic, you maintain the metadata, you tune the weights.

Vibe Search adds semantic understanding, interactive exploration via sliders, taste profiles, and cross-category matching, all built on proprietary embedding technology. No metadata tagging. No manual relevance tuning.

Many teams run Vibe Search alongside their existing search stack, not as a replacement.

Not necessarily. Vibe Search is a plugin API that sits on top of your existing stack. Many teams keep their current keyword search and add Vibe Search for semantic understanding, sliders, taste matching, and cross-category discovery.

It can also fully replace. The shape depends on what you already have and where you want to add intelligence.

Plugin API on top of your existing stack. Works with any ecommerce platform. A native Shopify plugin is on the way.

The index runs through embeddings, which means no tagging pipeline, no metadata schema, no manual relevance rules to maintain. We connect to your catalog, build the index, and you call a single API for search results.

Typically live in days, not months.

No. Vibe Search indexes through embeddings, not metadata. Products are understood by their actual content, not by tags you maintain manually.

This removes the largest hidden cost of traditional ecommerce search: a tagging and categorization pipeline that has to be kept current as the catalog grows.

Three mechanisms drive the lift.

Shoppers find a relevant product on the first try instead of bouncing, recovering sessions that would otherwise be lost. Complementary products surface across categories at the moment of intent, opening up-sell and cross-sell paths that traditional search misses. And customers grow used to the higher standard, which compounds into retention over time.

The specific lift depends on the catalog and the baseline. We share customer-specific numbers during a working session.
