Any Google Site Search alternatives?

Could anyone suggest any Google Site Srach alternatives that are not very costy and quite straightforward to implement on a website?

I need this for a searchable archive (PDF and other docs uploaded, that they could be searchable by name).

Google will be ditching their Site Search service end of play this year.

Many thanks!

  • You could go for few options like:

    1) Server side coding: You can have code on your server to do a simple search. It would not be as fast as google but still serve the purpose for free.

    2) Cloud based: You can go for Amazon or Microsoft cloud based services.

    3) Others : Like swiftype or cludo they can cost around 299$ or you can go for algolia which offers many free services.
