One ordinary server instead of a cluster, nothing to maintain, no per-query meter. And it finds what your customers actually type — typos, partial part numbers, glued words, wrong layouts.
One payment, full deployment — no renewals, no per-query meters, no support contract. Search is the only part of your stack you rent forever. This one you own, like equipment on your floor.
No cluster, no GPU, no nodes to rebalance, no engineer on payroll to keep search alive. Answers in ~20 ms across 100M records — from one ordinary server you already own.
“oill fitler corola”, half a part number, two words glued into one — found without synonym lists, dictionaries or months of tuning. It just reads what people meant.
On your catalog — or a fake one. In your infrastructure. Live in 2 days. If you like it, you pay. If not, it cost you nothing.

Most search products are written in languages made for convenience — Python, Java, JavaScript. Convenient to write, slow to run. Dartfind is written in the languages used where software is not allowed to fail or lag: rockets, avionics, telecom.
The modern systems language used by aerospace, Cloudflare and the Linux kernel. As fast as raw C, but memory-safe — memory leaks and the crashes they cause are impossible by construction, not by testing.
Ada flies on rockets, avionics and air traffic control. SPARK is its strictest form: the code is checked by mathematical proof before it ever runs. Used where a single error costs a vehicle — not a support ticket.
Erlang runs telecom switches with uptime measured in years — it supervises and heals the system while it works. ISPC squeezes every core of the CPU for the number-crunching itself.
No Python, no interpreters, nothing slow anywhere in the path of your query — and nothing that needs babysitting. Once configured, there is nothing left to maintain: no memory to leak, no cluster to nurse, no search engineer to hire. That’s how ~20 ms stays ~20 ms, year after year.
The hardest search environment there is: part numbers.
An auto parts business runs Dartfind as its live counter and catalog search. Customers and staff type what auto parts people type all day: half-remembered part numbers, brand names with typos, two words glued together, a code read off a worn, oily label.
Every query hits the full catalog and comes back in the time it takes to draw the next character. No synonym lists were built, no relevance rules written — the engine reads broken input as-is. It runs on one ordinary machine, index in RAM, alongside the rest of the store’s systems, and keeps working with the internet down.
A customer who types “oill fitler corola” and gets “no results” does not retype. They leave. Your sales reps lose the same way: half a part number from a client, twenty minutes of digging, deal cooling down.
Typos, partial article numbers, glued words and wrong layouts are handled by the search itself. Nothing to configure, nothing to babysit.
The index lives in RAM and answers from a single CPU — any x86 processor with SSE2, which means practically any machine made this millennium. 16,787 products run in a live store on this engine today.
Works with the internet cut off entirely. No third-party cloud, no per-query metering, no way for anyone outside to switch it off.
Search is the only part of your stack you rent forever. Dartfind replaces that line with one payment.
Installed on your hardware, tuned to your catalog, handed over with ranking controls your team can adjust in minutes. No renewals, no meters, no lock-in — and nothing that phones home. Need extra filters, sorting or custom behavior later? We build it as paid work, and it ships to every customer after you.
CSV or any dump — names, SKUs, attributes. A fake dataset works too.
Running in your infrastructure. Type the worst queries your customers send and watch them land.
One payment, full deployment, wired to your storefront or CRM. Don’t like it — walk away.
