Search Technologies was a privately held IT services company whose main business involved search engines, big data, consulting and implementation services. The company specialized in a range of search engines including Microsoft SharePoint, the Google Search Appliance, Elasticsearch, Amazon Cloudsearch, Cloudera, and Apache Solr. Search Technologies provided services including experts-for-hire to managed services. The company was headquartered in Washington DC's Dulles Technology Corridor and had offices in Costa Rica, California, Kentucky, the UK, Germany and the Czech Republic.
In August 2017, Search Technologies was acquired by Accenture.
Search Technologies was founded in 2005 by three former executives of search engine software companies, Kamran Khan (CEO), John Steinhauer (VP technology) and Dennis Tran (VP Sales), all of whom remain employees of the company.
In 2008, Search Technologies recruited Paul Nelson,[1] a pioneer in the search engine industry since 1989 and the original author of RetrievalWare. Paul Nelson is currently Chief Architect at Search Technologies, and a minority shareholder in the company.
In August 2017, Search Technologies was acquired by Accenture for an undisclosed amount.[2]
In February 2021, Accenture completed the integration of Search Technologies into Accenture Applied Intelligence. The original Search Technologies website (www.searchtechnologies.com) was shut down and redirected to page on Accenture.com. Some of the founding executives of Search Technologies have since started a new company.
