FAQ from Collie
What is Collie?
Collie is an AI-driven tool that enhances website navigation through an intelligent, embedded search function. It autonomously indexes all accessible content across your site, delivering rapid and relevant search results to users.
How do I integrate Collie on my website?
You can add Collie by embedding the ready-to-use search widget or by calling the API directly. After setup, Collie’s system will crawl your site, extract key assets, and build a comprehensive index in Mixpeek for seamless searching.
How does the Collie fetcher work?
The Collie fetcher acts as a smart web crawler that visits your URLs, extracts visible content—including text, media, and files—and follows internal links to ensure full coverage. The gathered data is then structured into a searchable format within the Mixpeek index.
