Case Study: Rightmove accelerates property search and observability with Elastic

Rightmove delivers 36 millisecond property search with Elastic

Rightmove, the UK's top property platform, faced challenges with its complex proprietary search platform that hindered the addition of new features. To refine search for its millions of users, Rightmove needed a solution that could deliver fast, accurate results and support new capabilities like instant alerts and geographical search. This led them to partner with vendor Elastic and adopt their Elasticsearch and Elastic Cloud services.

By implementing Elastic's solutions, Rightmove achieved a significantly faster and more efficient search experience. The results included query speeds ten times faster than the next best solution, indexing that was five times faster, and an average query time of just 36 milliseconds. Elastic Observability also provided comprehensive monitoring. This performance enhancement allowed Rightmove to streamline operations and focus on application development, solidifying its market-leading position.
