Document Search
Make catalogs, manuals, spec sheets, and PDFs searchable.
Index documents at the page level, surface snippets in search results, link documents to products, and feed grounded AI assistants — with OCR for scanned files and metadata for permissions.
The problem
The most useful product information is locked inside PDFs.
Spec sheets, manuals, and warranty documents are full of content shoppers and buyers need — and standard ecommerce search ignores all of it.
- Buyers ask for specs that live on page 4 of a datasheet
- Compatibility and fitment information is buried in install guides
- Sales reps re-explain the same warranty terms over and over
- Old PDFs are scanned images that no engine can read
How Scouty solves it
Page-level indexing with snippets and citations.
Scouty Docs indexes PDFs at the page level, runs OCR on scanned files, links documents to products, and exposes results as snippets in unified search and as grounded sources in Scouty AI.
- PDF, catalog, manual, install guide, and warranty doc support
- Page-level indexing with passage snippets
- OCR for scanned and image-based documents
- Product ↔ document linking
- Permissioning for partner-only and internal docs
- Document/page and storage metering
