StackSearch provides these features as a subscription that is priced within reach of the 86% of online merchants that now use sub-optimal search functions that are bundled with their e-commerce platform. Most of these sub-optimal solutions are based on slow technology that is simply not built for today’s environment of cheap compute instances/bandwidth. StackSearch is built specifically for today's e-commerce environment. Our market: The global e-commerce will exceed $1.25T in 2013 and is growing 20% per year. We reside in the e-commerce tools market, which is a $12B market where cloud solutions are steadily grabbing more of this market. Our addressable market is the segment that books $1-50M in annual sales (approx. 25% of online stores).
