AddSearch Gets $650K Seed Investment

2013-11-09
HELSINKI, FINLAND, AddSearch, an in-site search tool available to web developers, has announced a $650,000 seed investment.
AddSearch, a startup from Finland that has created a solution for better search inside websites, has received seed funding of $650,000 from Vision+, Tekes and the company's founders.

AddSearch is a hosted search tool for any website, offering instant and accurate search results after the first keypress. AddSearch works across all devices, gives website owners complete control over their search results and is very easy to install.

The product is currently being tested with various companies and governmental organizations, including Sanoma, the biggest publishing company in Finland. After over two years of development, AddSearch will be launched to the public at the Slush 2013 startup event on November 13th-14th in Helsinki.

'Website search is broken', commented Pasi Ilola, AddSearch co-founder and CEO. 'Existing search solutions for websites offer a very poor and slow user experience, often failing to provide the most relevant search result. Building and maintaining your own search functionality is highly expensive and time-consuming. That is why we created AddSearch - it is easy to set up for the website owners and it just works'.

'It takes only one line of code to install AddSearch on a website. Website owners can fully control which pages and keywords are most important in the search results, allowing them to surface business-critical information to the users', added Antti Ala-Ilkka, founder and CTO of AddSearch.
