Amazon CloudSearch vs. Luigi's Box

I would like to mentioned about the scenario where Amazon cloud search was well suited is when we need regular updation of data and the subject matter requires continuous alterations due to the continuous changing environment and talking abut the least appropriate would the times when their is high level of customisation requirements in the project.

Luigi's Box helps
to increase sales and conversions by providing visitors of web with the best possible shopping experience. There are also tools that helps increase sales and improve customer experience such as Recommender (shows customers relevant products) or Campaign banners (helps promoting new products in search results). The tool is most appropriate for eCommerce, especially internet shops with thousands of products. It is not suited for smaller webs.

• Really fast queries

• search merchandizing

• boosting of specific brands/categories
• query reqrites

• First thing I would like to mentioned about its indexing speed, I have noticed while working with large sums of data
• Second I would like to mentioned about customisation challenge, although it is also its pros but a con as well, as it is a tedious task to customise when time value comes place as well.
• Thirdly, I do feel that its advanced search queries could be more supported. I have seen some level of lagging when it comes to more advanced search queries given the size of data.

• integrating the feed with Channable (feed management tool) was a bit complex at first, but once that was done, it was much simpler.
• more personalised product recommendations

The user interface, especially for their analytics modules is not always very intuitive and they have their very own definitions for some metrics that are not coherent with widely used analytics tools like Google Analytics.

Their support is excellent. Quick and helpful.

I didn't investigate the best alternatives to CloudSearch, but did help with implementing this feature in our application. But from what i tested and used - Cloudsearch is very fast to get queries. Some negative points can be the time to implement this and some configurations that can be tricky.

Easier to implement and use in daily, the search engine is faster and better, to be honest is the best. We have one solution for recommenders, searching, and listings. We managed to agree to favorable contract terms + Communication with tool support is perfect. We have solved our main problem very quickly and flexibly
