Don’t let network latency ruin the search experience of your international users

Algolia offers developers a unique interactive search experience with features like as-you-type search, instant faceting, mobile geo-search and on the fly spell check. Their Distributed Search Network (DSN) aims to remove network latency's impact on search speed, allowing customers to provide an instantaneous experience to end-users worldwide. Algolia is obsessed with speed as it significantly affects businesses; Amazon found that 100ms in added latency cost them 1% in sales. The company's DSN replicates indices across different regions globally, ensuring search results under 50ms in top markets and an optimal experience for all users. Currently, DSN is accessible to Starter, Growth, Pro, and Enterprise plan customers. Several services like HackerNews, TeeSpring, Product Hunt, and Zendesk leverage Algolia's DSN for faster global search.
