Using simple drag and drop to adjust search rank is brilliant, and the minimal design seems to follow all of Dieter Rams' 10 rules for good design.

I've checked out Swiftype, and I have to say that it is awesome. It's basically the "Stripe" of site search, in that it fixes a system that was just broken. Hosted site search as a market has had basically zero innovation since Google launched its site search product. That was like 6 years ago. If you've ever tried Google site search, you know how much it sucks. It's basically just a thin wrapper around a site:yourdo…

Ivinco Website Search (http://getwebsitesearch.com/) already one year on the market in custom search.

After clicking Create Engine I get a 404. Returning to the home screen I see the new engine listed, but when I click on it I just see the message: You have not created any DocumentTypes in ENGINE_NAME yet. Please use the API to get started. What am I doing wrong?
