Why Hawksearch Falls Behind

Hawksearch was innovative in 2012. But search technology has evolved dramatically. Here’s what you’re missing.

Hawksearch Limitations

Rule-Based Matching Only

You manually boost products. When new products arrive, you manually tune again. It's 2025—this shouldn't be manual anymore.

Scalability: At 1M+ SKUs, manual rules break down

No Vector Search

Hawksearch can't understand semantic similarity. "Blue running shoe" and "sapphire sneaker" are unrelated to the system.

Result: customers don't find what they want

No LLM Integration

Hawksearch can't understand intent. It matches keywords, not meaning.

60% of queries fail because they don't match exact title keywords

Static Learning

Your relevance model never improves. It's the same algorithm today as it was 5 years ago.

Competitors using modern AI continuously outpace you

Zero-Result Pages

When a query doesn't match keywords, Hawksearch returns nothing instead of intelligent alternatives.

You lose 8-12% of potential customers every month

Long Onboarding

Hawksearch migrations take 8-12 weeks because of the manual configuration required.

Time to ROI is months, not weeks

Why Switching Is Safer Than Staying

Here’s what we guarantee. Here’s what could go wrong if you don’t switch.

Cost of Waiting

Competitors Get Smarter

Every month you stay on Hawksearch, competitors using AI improve while you stay static.

You Miss Revenue

Customers are frustrated with search, buying from competitors with better UX.

Your Team Works Harder

More manual rules. More configurations. More time maintaining legacy systems.

Technology Debt Grows

The longer you stay, the harder it becomes to upgrade. It is getting older.

Talent Wants Modern Tech

Your engineers see cutting-edge AI elsewhere. Maintaining Hawksearch feels primitive.

Benefits of Switching Now

When you switch from Hawksearch to bCloud, there's no lock-in. Ever change your mind? Easy.

Instant Competitive Advantage

You get AI search while competitors wait. That's weeks/months of customer wins.

Your Team Gets Modern

Work with cutting-edge AI. Attract better engineers. Build pride in your tech stack.

Immediate ROI

+30% conversion lift. Your customers find products faster. Revenue increases.

Faster Migration

The sooner you switch from Hawksearch, the sooner you get AI. 4 weeks vs competitors' months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about switching from Algolia to bcloud AI.
What if our Hawksearch rules are custom and unique to our business?
That’s exactly what bCloud is designed for. Our AI learns your unique business logic from customer behavior instead of hard-coded rules. Most of your custom Hawksearch rules become unnecessary because AI learns the intent behind them automatically.
No. We run bCloud in parallel with Hawksearch for the entire migration. Your site never experiences a quality drop. We validate everything thoroughly before you flip the switch. You maintain full control and can rollback anytime during the 4 weeks.
Most customers see measurable improvements (5-10%) within the first 2 weeks. Significant lift (+20-30%) typically appears within 60 days as our AI learns from your customer behavior. Some customers see improvements on day 1.
Yes. We audit all your custom configurations, extract the business logic, and rebuild it in bCloud. Sometimes we improve on your custom rules because AI understands intent better than hard-coded parameters.
We provide equivalent (actually better) analytics in bCloud. Historical Hawksearch data can be archived. Going forward, you get richer insights: intent analysis, behavioral patterns, conversion attribution, and predictive metrics.
bCloud can run alongside Hawksearch if you need it temporarily. Honestly, we haven’t seen a case where customers want to keep Hawksearch after trying bCloud for 2 weeks. But we support whatever approach works for you.
Absolutely. New features are released every month. You always get the latest capabilities. There’s no “old version lock-in” like you’d face keeping Hawksearch current.
Your data is yours. Stored in your AWS account in standard formats. You can export anytime. If you ever decide to switch, it’s painless because nothing is locked in. But honestly, almost nobody switches away—the AI just keeps improving.
The migration is included in your subscription at no additional cost. No consulting fees, no setup charges. You pay your regular monthly fee ($5K for Growth plan) and we handle everything.
We provide comprehensive training: onboarding calls, documentation, video tutorials, office hours, and a dedicated Slack channel. Most teams are productive within 2-3 days. And since bCloud is simpler than Hawksearch (less configuration), training is actually easier.
