Smart Search: One box, better results

People don’t think in filters. They type what’s on their mind: “sofa vancouver”, “used bike”, “apartment near me”. A good marketplace search should understand that one line can include a keyword, a place, or a category – sometimes all at once.

That’s why we built “smart search” on Claz. As you type, it suggests keywords, locations, and categories together, with small hints when something matches indirectly – so it’s clear why it showed up. You can also refine your choices without getting stuck, especially on mobile where the search experience needs to be fast and forgiving.

The result: fewer steps, less guessing, and a quicker path from “I have an idea” to “here are the listings I want”.

This is just the start. We’ll keep improving suggestions, relevance, and speed so search feels less like configuring filters and more like simply asking for what you want.

The Best AI Is the One You Don’t Notice

There's a growing trend in tech: companies racing to put AI front and center. AI-generated descriptions. AI-written titles. AI badges everywhere.
At Claz, we do things differently.

We believe AI works best when users don't notice it.

We've been always at the forefront of integrating AI into our platform for spam prevention, content classification and enrichment.
We've been consistently rolling out improvements that use machine learning and artificial intelligence to make user experience smoother.

We aim at removing friction, not creating new distractions.

This is our philosophy, it's how we operate. We think this is what responsible use of AI looks like: invisible when it's not needed, helpful when it is.

Server Crash & Recovery

One of our web server’s disks went bad earlier today and deleted some of the files, causing search results page to not show up properly. Website has been restored from backup and seems to be working fine now.

We’re checking the user data and the databases to make sure everything else is OK… Looking good so far..

Thanks to Mr. Wade Preston for letting us know about the issue.

Moving to new data platform

Claz is moving to the new data platform – for faster searches and to support our growing database…

If the plan goes right, the move will be completed on Friday night and shall not impact Claz users.

If you occasionally reach this page trying to run your favorite Claz search – please drop me a message at support@claz.org and I’ll look into it
