Companies Using ElasticSuite

I pulled ElasticSuite out of our October 2026 crawl to answer a simple question: how many Magento stores run Smile's search module? The answer is 4,387 live domains, 2,725 of them matched to a company, 8th of 58 in Site Search. We count a domain when a page loads the module's tracker script, creates its tracker object or sets its two cookies. The cookie test is the shaky one, so I opened 40 counted domains at random: of the 27 that loaded, 26 showed the tracker or the module's files. I also loaded the 50 companies listed on this page. 37 showed ElasticSuite and 13 blocked automated visits or timed out; five earlier rows didn't hold up (two were matched to the wrong organisation, three no longer showed the module) and were replaced.

A catalogue engine, not a search box

Most of the products in Site Search are hosted services: you add a script and the vendor answers the queries. ElasticSuite is different. It is a Magento 2 module that replaces the platform's catalogue search and category ranking, running on the merchant's own Elasticsearch or OpenSearch server. That is why Magento runs on 79.17% of the domains and Adobe Commerce on 2.48%, while Shopify barely registers at 0.59%. Against the 58,347 live domains on our Magento profile (August 2026), ElasticSuite is on roughly one Magento store in 17. Since March 2026, 677 domains have dropped it, but 114 of the domains behind that figure still run it on another hostname.

"In the Site Search table ElasticSuite looks small, at 2.61%. Inside Magento it isn't: we find it on roughly one Magento store in 17." - David Thomson, CTO at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: an ElasticSuite domain is a Magento shop with an engineering budget, because someone installed a Magento module and runs a search server for it. That makes it a good list for Magento hosting, OpenSearch support and replatforming pitches, and a poor one for plug-and-play Shopify apps.

Hyvä is the other half of the stack

Hyvä, the lightweight Magento theme, announced an official ElasticSuite integration, and the crawl shows how far that pairing has spread. 32.98% of ElasticSuite domains run the Hyvä theme, 36.31% load Alpine.js and 43.10% load Tailwind CSS, the two libraries Hyvä is built on. Several of the stores I opened serve the tracker from a Hyvä theme folder, PRO&Cie's among them.

Sales signal: Hyvä agencies and Hyvä-compatible extension vendors will find a dense list here. A store on Hyvä has rebuilt its front end at some point, so it is also a fair target for performance and conversion tooling.

Catalogue sellers and old companies

41.65% of matched companies with a known size have 1 to 10 employees and 29.41% have 11 to 50, close to Luigi's Box's 40.54% at the smallest band. The industries are where ElasticSuite differs. Retail leads with 18.64%, but Manufacturing (8.46%), Wholesale (8.2%) and Wholesale Building Materials (4.42%) add up to 21.08%. The founding years agree: 18.02% were founded before 1960 and only 4.73% in the 2020s. Qlar, BRAND, TricorBraun, Soprema and OTC Industrial are B2B catalogue businesses, and Upper Deck runs it on its B2B ordering site. The 74 companies above 1,000 staff mostly use it on one storefront: Philips' AED shop, ÖBB's fan shop, Calor's appliance shop, Lidl Switzerland's product catalogue.

Sales signal: pitch B2B commerce features (customer-specific pricing, quick order, PIM and ERP connectors) to the manufacturing and wholesale rows, and at large companies find the owner of the specific shop rather than central IT.

Europe first, and six owners to dedupe

The United States has the most matched companies, 386, but the Netherlands (327), Germany (306), the United Kingdom (287), France (216) and Belgium (159) together outnumber it more than three to one, and all European countries in the table reach 1,604. Australia's 303 includes 69 branch domains of one wholesale group, MMEM, that forward to its AWM and TLE pages, and the US figure includes 79 Do it Best member stores. Owners like that matter: PRO&Cie's franchise shops are 131 domains, Do it Best's member stores 115, Pharmacie Lafayette 33, OTC Industrial 26 and Verlagshaus24 21. Those six owners hold 401 domains, about 9% of the count.

Sales signal: dedupe by redirect target before you size a territory. Six accounts look like 401 rows, and a franchise network is one buying decision.

The search box on top

The overlaps with hosted search point the same way. 206 domains run ElasticSuite and Doofinder today, out of 216 that ever ran both; 63 run it with Algolia (out of 78), 52 with Luigi's Box and 37 with Klevu (out of 68). Our switching tests publish no corridor for any of these pairs, because most domains that ever ran both still do. PRO&Cie is the clearest case: its shop pages load ElasticSuite's tracker, and Doofinder's profile counts the same 131 domains under one Doofinder account.

"When a Magento merchant adds a hosted search box, ElasticSuite usually stays. Of 216 domains ever seen with ElasticSuite and Doofinder, 206 still run both." - David Thomson, CTO at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: for a hosted search vendor, these stores already accept a second search layer, so the pitch is the autocomplete and merchandising UI, not ripping out the catalogue engine. For ElasticSuite's team, the 206 Doofinder stores are the obvious upsell list for its own instant search.

What it costs

The module is open source under OSL-3.0 on GitHub, where the README marks the recommendations engine and behavioural ranking as premium-only. The pricing page (October 2026) lists Free at €0 and self-hosted, Growth from €415 a month, Business from €999 a month and Enterprise on request, shown on a default three-year term, with a fixed licence that doesn't rise with traffic or catalogue size. Our crawl can't separate free installs from paid ones.

Sales signal: treat the list as installs of a free engine. The ones worth calling about a paid plan are stores that already pay for a second search vendor or sell large catalogues, the two groups most likely to want AI ranking and recommendations.

Key takeaways

1. 4,387 live domains, 8th of 58 in Site Search, on roughly one Magento store in 17.

2. A Magento-only catalogue engine: Magento on 79.17%, Hyvä on 32.98%.

3. More B2B than Klevu or Luigi's Box: manufacturing and wholesale categories at 21.08%, and 18.02% of companies founded before 1960.

4. Hosted search sometimes sits on top, and both stay: 206 of 216 ElasticSuite and Doofinder domains still run both.

5. Six owners hold 401 domains, and free installs can't be told from paid ones.
