Y Combinator-Backed Swiftype Builds Site Search That Doesn?t Suck

swiftype logoIn my four-plus years covering tech, I don't think I've ever met another blogger who was happy with the search feature on their website. The options range from terrible to, uh, functional, but it's never good, and I've always found that it's easier to just search via Google. Apparently Matt Riley and Quin Hoxie saw the same problem when they were working at Scribd. So they left to build a better website search engine, one that they're calling Swiftype. The startup was part of Y Combinator's latest class of companies, and it's launching today.
