Why choose Keyspider over Google Site Search?
AI-powered semantic search
Keyspider understands the intent behind queries, not just keywords. Users find what they need even when they don't use the exact words on the page.
Greater customization
Customize result rankings, pin content, add synonyms, and tune relevance without writing a single line of code. GSS offers minimal customization controls.
Document and PDF search
Keyspider indexes PDFs, Word documents, and other file types alongside web pages. Google Site Search does not index documents in most configurations.
Real-time indexing
Content is searchable within minutes of being published. No waiting for a Google crawl that may take days.
Built for government
NIST 800-53 aligned, WCAG 2.1 AA compliant, and US data residency. GSS does not meet these requirements for government procurement.
Free migration support
Our team handles the migration from your existing GSS or GCSE setup to Keyspider at no charge, minimizing disruption to your site.
