INDEX
The engine behind askFinz search
Everything we read becomes searchable.
The indexer is where it all comes together. Pages read by the crawler and the browser extension are cleaned, understood, and made instantly findable — in real time, not on a weekly schedule.
What it does
A living map of what the web knows.
Reading a page is only half the job. The indexer takes that raw content, strips away the menus and clutter, understands what it's about, and files it so any askFinz app can find the right answer in an instant. The moment a page is seen, it's searchable — there is no multi-day delay like traditional search engines.
Three ways content comes in
Fed from every direction.
The browser extension
As you browse, pages you visit are read and added — so your knowledge is indexed the instant you see it, not days later.
About the extensionVerified partners
Domain partners feed their high-quality content directly, with priority and real-time freshness.
Partner with usBuilt for the whole web
It handles the pages others give up on.
Most of the web is easy. The interesting part is the web that isn't — documents, JavaScript-heavy apps, and sites built to keep automated tools out. askFinz reads them all.
Ordinary web pages
Articles, docs, product pages, blogs — read, cleaned of clutter, and made searchable.
Documents
PDFs, Word docs, and slide decks are read page-by-page, not just linked to.
Modern web apps
Sites that build themselves with JavaScript are fully rendered first, so nothing is missed.
The hard cases
Even sites that hide their content behind bot-walls and heavy scripting are handled — rendered in a real browser as a last resort.
Real-time by default
Fresh, not stale.
Legacy search
- Re-crawls on a schedule — days to weeks behind.
- Skips content that needs a real browser to render.
- Stores links, not understanding.
askFinz Indexer
- Indexed the moment a page is seen — real time.
- Renders modern and bot-walled pages in a real browser.
- Stores full meaning, ready for AI to reason over.
What it powers
One index, every askFinz app.
Everything the indexer knows is instantly available to the apps you use — so an answer in one place is grounded in the same fresh knowledge everywhere.
