Scolta
Site search without the search server
Open-source AI search you can plug into any site. Built on Pagefind, scored in the browser, with nothing extra to host.
HOW SCOLTA WORKS

-
Score.
Scolta re-ranks results in the visitor’s browser, improving relevance and surfacing stronger matches first.
-
Enhance.

Consistency Across Stacks
One Engine. Any Site. Scolta's scoring engine is platform-agnostic. Behavior stays consistent across properties; tuning carries over. Current includes open-source connectors for Drupal, WordPress, and Laravel. Many more coming soon.

Works Where You Already Host
