Endeca was killed by Oracle.

I recently completed an Endeca to Algolia migration. I spent quite a bit of time auditing the Endeca implementation, from the XML files to the Windows desktop application. It was pretty good for its era.

While the acquisition was good for me financially, I agree that Oracle didn't really invest in sustaining Endeca as a product. I am proud of what we achieved at Endeca, but search has come a long way since then.

Coincidentally, I now consult for Algolia. :-)

Cool, I thought I was the only one who has uttered Endeca and Algolia in the same sentence.

I wrote up some tips/impressions on configuring Algolia for ecomm:
