| Topic | SearchUs | Competitor notes |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Plugin extracts eligible content; hosted index stores and serves queries | Often on-server index, Elasticsearch, or general SaaS search |
| WordPress workflow | Plugin + account license + results page | Varies by product |
| Commerce | Products, variations, Shopping-tab filters | Limited / Requires add-on / product-specific |
| Documents | Text PDF & DOCX | Varies; advanced document recognition often limited |
Use Limited, Requires add-on, or qualified wording when evaluating alternatives—capabilities change over time.
