About Us

Typesense is an open source, typo tolerant search engine that is optimized for instant sub-50ms searches, while providing an intuitive developer experience .

We are a lean customer-funded team of engineers passionate about making great search technology accessible to everyone. We believe that search technology choices widely available to developers today, either have a steep learning curve and a heavy operational burden, or are proprietary and expensive.

We are on a mission to democratize search. We want to reduce the time-to-market for developers to build a blazing-fast search experience that provides relevant results out-of-the-box, all without breaking the bank and without operational overhead.

We are a small team trying to do big things and we believe that open sourcing our work helps combine forces with our community and force-multiply our collective efforts. If this resonates with you, here are a couple of ways to get involved.
