Background

They wanted to improve the search relevance for their niche site and Google site search was not helping them get the results they required. They had tried a few other vendors too and had a good idea of the state of the art performance available in the market and their own expectations from natural language search.
They engaged ThatNeedle for implementing search to improve search relevance for their niche sports goods.
