New Full-Text Search Software Release


We are pleased to announce the release of our new full-text search software powered by Elasticsearch.

This release enhances the Archive-It experience for patrons and partners by producing faster search results, improved relevancy ranking, and enhanced reliability when searching the full-text index of archived web pages. 


Full text search will continue to be available 7 days after a production crawl completes or a test crawl is saved. This new search is an indexing and infrastructure change only and will continue to support the existing OpenSearch API.

To learn more about our new full-text search software, including how it determines relevancy and displays results, please visit our Help Center. This new development is the latest improvement to Archive-It, we look forward to sharing more development news with you in the near future.
