The Challenge

Enterprise search is broken by design

Knowledge is trapped in silos, search tools ignore access controls, and every scale upgrade means a costly replatform.

The Governance Gap Most enterprise search products expose data to users who shouldn't see it. Without ACL enforcement at the index level, every search result is a potential compliance violation.
Search results that ignore permissions

Employees see documents they shouldn't access. Confidential HR data, board materials, and financial reports leak through ungoverned search.

Every upgrade means a new integration

Moving from basic search to enterprise scale typically requires a full replatform — new APIs, new auth models, new vendor.

Knowledge scattered with no unified schema

Wikis, runbooks, KB articles, HR docs — each in a different format. No single index, no single query surface.

Scale surprises: usage spikes → unexpected costs or downtime

Without rate limiting, quotas, and clear tier boundaries, production search becomes unpredictable and expensive.

The Aeira Vision

One API. One ACL model.
Every scale.

Aeira gives you a single integration contract that stays consistent as you grow — from a curated company directory to a fully governed, high-throughput search platform.

"Start with catalog. Scale to federated. Never rewrite the integration."

Architecture

Governed search from ingestion to query

Every request flows through the same ACL-aware pipeline, regardless of tier. Scale changes capacity — never the contract.

Entity Templates

20 ready-made templates for common enterprise data. Define custom types via API for anything else — runbooks, KB articles, policies.

ACL at the Index Level

Permissions are enforced at query time — not bolted on after. Users only ever see the data they're authorized to access.

Included with Every Bolt Plan

Catalog: Your company directory out of the box

A curated, ACL-aware directory of the information every employee needs — offices, holidays, benefits, apps, and more. No setup cost. No additional license.

Free with Bolt Catalog is bundled in all Bolt plans. Your team gets governed discovery from day one — zero incremental cost.

+ 2 Custom

What's Included

  • 8 core categories + 2 custom
  • 50 records per category (link-centric entries)
  • 4-level ACL (public, department, group, user)
  • Browse + keyword search with ACL filtering
  • Import via CSV, JSON, or YAML templates
  • Integrated with Bolt AI chat
  • Fair-use query and storage limits
Index Any Corporate Data

Dynamic: Hybrid AI search across everything

Go beyond directory. Index wikis, runbooks, KB articles, guides — any corporate data. Hybrid search combines keyword precision with semantic understanding.

Hybrid Search

Keyword + semantic vector search. Find results by exact terms or meaning — Aeira picks the best strategy automatically.

20 Entity Templates

Pre-built templates for common enterprise data types. Define custom types via API for anything else.

Bulk Ingestion API

Import via CSV, YAML, or JSON. Up to 10,000 indexed records with full ACL support.

Production-Scale Enterprise Search

Enhanced: Built for production workloads

Async ingestion, enterprise-grade rate limiting, region-aware ACL, and dedicated namespace isolation. For teams that need scale with governance.

1

Async Kafka Ingestion

High-throughput, guaranteed delivery. Ingest at scale without blocking your pipeline.

2

Per-User Daily Quotas

Soft and hard limits prevent abuse. Fair usage across teams without manual monitoring.

3

30 QPS Rate Limiting

Burst control with sliding window. Production-grade throttling that protects your infrastructure.

4

Region-Aware ACL

Location-based access filtering for multi-region deployments and data sovereignty compliance.

5

Namespace Isolation

Dedicated namespace per tenant. Complete data isolation with independent scaling.

Security & Authorization

Permissions enforced at the index level

Aeira doesn't filter results after search — it enforces ACL during query execution. Users never see data they're not authorized to access, regardless of search strategy.

4-Level ACL

Consistent authorization semantics across every tier — from Catalog to Federated.

Public Department Group User

JWT Native

Every request validated via JWT. Identity claims pass through from your IdP.

Region-Aware

Enhanced+ tiers add location-based access control for multi-region compliance.

Namespace Isolation

Each tenant gets a dedicated namespace with independent access boundaries.

Consistent Upgrade

Same ACL semantics across all tiers. No rewrites when you scale.

Tier Comparison
