Search Implementation in Belfast
Building search into Belfast organisations' products and sites, where relevance is tuned against real queries rather than designed in advance. What people type is never what the team expected — misspellings, part numbers, half-remembered names — and the queries returning nothing are the most valuable list the system produces.
Why this comes up
The problem
Search matches product titles exactly, so a misspelling or a plural returns nothing and the visitor leaves.
What you get
What we deliver
- Typo tolerance and stemming configured so near-misses still find the right thing
- Synonyms built from your own vocabulary, including what customers call things
- Zero-result queries logged and reviewed as a standing feedback loop
- Ranking tuned beyond text matching — availability, popularity, margin where appropriate
- Filters and facets built from attributes that are actually populated
- Search analytics surfaced to the business, since queries reveal unmet demand

Search Implementation in Belfast — common questions
- Why are zero-result queries so valuable?
- Because each is somebody who wanted something and left. The list divides into things you sell but could not match, things you do not sell and should consider, and vocabulary mismatches — and all three are actionable, which few analytics outputs are.
- How are synonyms decided?
- From what customers type rather than from a thesaurus. Trade terms, brand names used generically, regional variations and the abbreviations people use internally all appear in the query log, and adding them resolves failures no amount of algorithm tuning would.
- Should ranking consider more than relevance?
- Usually, and carefully. Showing available items above out-of-stock ones is obviously sensible; ranking by margin is defensible in moderation and corrosive if it overrides relevance — the test is whether a customer searching for something specific still finds it first.
- Is search worth treating as a product?
- On any site with a real catalogue, yes. Visitors who search convert at substantially higher rates than those who browse, which makes it one of the highest-leverage areas — and one that is typically configured once at launch and never examined again.
- Do you work with businesses across County Antrim?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Northern Ireland, including Belfast and the surrounding County Antrim area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Belfast businesses do you usually work with?
- Fintech and security-accredited systems, plus trading platforms that handle the specific customs position on goods. Beyond that we work across Fintech, Cyber Security, Film & Media, Manufacturing and Higher Education.
- Do you cover the areas around Belfast?
- Yes — we work throughout Northern Ireland, including Lisburn, Bangor, Newry. Belfast is an urban area of roughly 345,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Antrim region rather than the city boundary alone.
