AI Search · Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch, engineered as the retrieval backbone for AI.

Hybrid, semantic and vector search that makes your RAG systems and agents accurate - and your search experiences fast. We architect, tune and operate Elasticsearch for relevance, latency and cost.

Outcomes

Great AI depends on great retrieval.

Whether users type into a search box or ask an assistant, the answer is only as good as what gets retrieved. We make that layer precise, fast and affordable.

Relevance you can measure

Judgment lists, offline metrics and A/B tests - so ranking changes are proven, not guessed.

AI-ready retrieval

Hybrid keyword + vector search that feeds RAG systems and agents the right context.

Fast at scale

Query, index and shard design tuned for low latency as data and traffic grow.

Resilient and cost-aware

High availability, data tiering and right-sized infrastructure that does not overspend.

All case studies
Use cases

What we build on Elasticsearch.

Retrieval for RAG & agents

The search layer behind assistants and agents that must answer from your data.

E-commerce search

Product discovery that understands intent, handles typos and converts.

Document & research search

Fast, precise search over large collections of reports, filings and content.

Knowledge & site search

Semantic search across help centers, wikis and internal knowledge.

Observability & logs

Scalable log and event analytics with sensible retention and cost.

Upgrades & migrations

Version upgrades, re-architecture and platform moves without downtime.

How an engagement runs

Measured from the first query.

01 — 1–2 weeks

Discover

Audit your cluster, queries and relevance, and agree on latency, quality and cost targets.

02 — 2–4 weeks

Prototype

Prove the changes - hybrid retrieval, new mappings, tuned ranking - against your real queries.

03 — 4–8 weeks

Productionize

Roll out safely with benchmarks, monitoring and zero-downtime migration where needed.

04 — Ongoing

Operate

Continuous relevance and performance tuning - or a clean handover with runbooks and training.

FAQ

Elasticsearch questions, answered.

What does Elasticsearch consulting cover?+

Hands-on help designing, building and running Elasticsearch: cluster architecture, hybrid and vector search, relevance tuning, RAG retrieval for AI applications, performance and cost optimization, security, upgrades and migrations, and troubleshooting.

Can Elasticsearch power RAG and AI agents?+

Yes. Elasticsearch supports dense vector search alongside its keyword engine, which makes it a strong fit for hybrid retrieval in RAG systems and agent tools. If you already run Elasticsearch, you can often add semantic retrieval to it rather than introducing a separate vector database.

How much does Elasticsearch consulting cost?+

It depends on scope and duration. We offer fixed-scope projects, time-and-materials engagements and monthly retainers. Book a call and we will give you a clear estimate for your situation.

How long does an Elasticsearch optimization project take?+

A focused performance or relevance assessment typically takes 1-2 weeks. Architecture redesigns, AI search builds or migrations typically take 4-12 weeks depending on data volume and complexity. We agree on timelines and success metrics up front.

Do you provide ongoing Elasticsearch support?+

Yes. We offer ongoing retainers covering monitoring, performance and relevance tuning, upgrades and troubleshooting, plus training so your team can become self-sufficient.
