For · Elasticsearch
Search engine
Keep Elasticsearch, and put a discovery layer in front.
Your Elasticsearch index already holds the catalog and ranking. SuggestAPI routes storefront and agent requests to that index and returns a consistent, agent-ready result shape.

Elasticsearch
Elasticsearch stays the engine
Indexes, mappings, and ranking stay in Elasticsearch. SuggestAPI does not migrate you off Elastic.
Discovery layer
SuggestAPI is the adapter
One API for autocomplete, full search, compare, and recommend. SuggestAPI rewrites the shopping job, calls Elasticsearch, and normalizes the response for people and agents.
SuggestAPI is an independent layer in front of Elasticsearch. It is not an Elastic product.
What stays
Leave the stack you already trust in place
The index
Documents, mappings, and ranking stay in Elasticsearch.
Credentials

Your cluster
SuggestAPI calls the Elasticsearch you already operate.
What SuggestAPI adds
Add discovery without a second catalog
Query understanding
Shopping jobs and follow-ups, not only query strings.
Agent-ready results
Structured product context for compare, recommend, and handoff.
Swap later if you need to
The client stays on SuggestAPI if the backend changes.
Start with the stack you have
Keep Elasticsearch and add discovery
Sign up, connect the catalog or search you already run, and put SuggestAPI in front.
