It's been a fun ride these last two years. I'm excited to see (and help build) what comes next.

We're hiring, obviously. I'm happy to talk to anyone about working at Swiftype. My email is easy to find.

Do you hire any remote positions? I think I may have seen a posting or two on weworkremotley. Any bonus points for search backgrounds?

We don't currently hire remotely, but we do offer relocation assistance. Plenty of bonus points for IR backgrounds, too!

Just installed it for my blog. http://oonwoye.com. It's Looking great.

I'd love to give credit but I do not want to tamper with my footer code before I break something.

I would not mind if it is made part of the plugin code that way people will not be "forced" to withhold credit.

Yep, we installed it for https://eaternet.io – restaurant health inspection scores. Looks beautiful.

I usually do a manual installation of Sphinx Search or something similar, and do all the tuning myself. But for this project, we're using Heroku and total PaaS-based development. Swiftype was a great drop-in solution. It's been excellent, and as a fast as a well tuned Sphinx implementation.

Thanks for your feedback! Adding a simple way for WordPress users to give credit is definitely something we want to add. Stay tuned.

Congrats!

Swiftype is the kind of product that you install once and then forget it because it just keeps working as you would expect. It's basically a good one :)
