Collie.ai: Instant Embedded Search Bar for Your Website
Collie.ai automatically crawls your website's pages and files to power a drop-in search bar, giving visitors an instant, comprehensive way to find content.
Overview
Collie.ai takes the headache out of building site search from scratch. Instead of manually indexing pages, you simply hand Collie your website URL and its automated fetcher crawls every linked page, pulling in PDFs, images, videos, audio, HTML, and text along the way. All of this content gets organized into a searchable index (powered by Mixpeek) so visitors can find exactly what they're looking for without leaving your site.
Once the crawl is complete, Collie hands you a ready-to-embed search bar that matches your site's flow, or you can skip the widget entirely and query the index directly through its API. This flexibility makes it a practical fit for developers who want a quick integration and for UX-focused teams who want a native-feeling search experience without maintaining their own indexing infrastructure.
Beyond public content, Collie is also piloting a private, firewall-protected search beta for teams that need to index internal or gated files. Combined with straightforward data controls (just email support to delete indexed content), Collie positions itself as a low-friction way to add powerful, full-site search to any project.
