At Sease, we know the intricacy of OpenSearch internals and our Information Retrieval specialists can help you minimise your resource consumption and maximise the performance of your system.
Query Response/indexing tim
Speed is vital in any search system and OpenSearch is no different.
Achieving good indexing speed allows for fresher results to be available sooner and fast query response time makes your users happy!
We can guide you toward query optimisation and techniques that can speed up your system.
OpenSearch Feature Integration
Our OpenSearch specialists can help you integrate various features to improve the quality of your search system. Choose from one of these or feel free to ask for others.

Client's Feedback
I can wholeheartedly recommend the Neural Search end-to-end (in many dimensions, all puns intended!) OpenSearch training from Sease for real-world search engineers and tinkerers. Alessandro and Anna bring their experience and enthusiasm working deep inside the opensource Lucene ecosystem. They are folks in driving seats moving the field forward from the trenches. I have some experience working in search, and yet the opportunity to gain from Anna and Alessandro’s insight into the nitty-gritties of this bleeding-edge transformation the field is going through makes me a better dense search tinkerer today than I was yesterday.
