Getting started

From signing up to live search, in four steps.

1. Create your account

Start a trial from the pricing page. You'll be asked for a card, but nothing is charged until the 14-day trial ends, and you can cancel at any point before that.

2. Tell us which site to index

After signing up, send us your site URL and what you'd like searchable — articles, resources, FAQs, and so on.

We create your index and send you an API key. Because we build your first index for you, you don't have to get any configuration right before seeing results.

3. Connect your site

On WordPress, install the Content Intelligence plugin, then open the Content Intelligence menu and paste in the service URL, index name and API key from your welcome email.

Choose which post types to index and which fields to expose as filters, then click Reindex now.

Not on WordPress? Skip the plugin and push documents straight to the API — see the API basics page.

4. Put search on your site

Add the [isclabs_search] shortcode to a page for a complete search experience with facets and AI overviews.

Or turn on engine-backed theme search to have your existing search results page ranked by the engine, with no template changes. If the service is ever unreachable, it falls back to standard WordPress search on its own.
