How Beyondspace Studio is Elevating Search with Monocle

Guest Author: Niang Lee

At Beyondspace Studio, we specialize in creating Squarespace plugins and tools to empower businesses. Whether it’s increasing sales, enhancing the Squarespace editor experience, or streamlining workflows, our mission is to help businesses achieve more with less effort. As our library of tutorials, plugin documentation, and blog posts grew, it became clear we needed a better search solution—not just for our customers but for our own team as well. That’s where Monocle came in.

The Challenge: Making Content More Accessible

Our blog is a hub of knowledge for Squarespace users, filled with tutorials and plugin documentation. But with so much content, finding the right article became a challenge for readers. Squarespace’s built-in search was falling short in both speed and accuracy, especially when dealing with large or growing content libraries. We knew we needed a robust full-text search solution that could:

• Index content quickly and accurately.
• Provide fast results for users.
• Offer a customizable experience to match our branding.

Why We Chose Monocle

We discovered Monocle on Reddit and became early adopters of the plugin. From day one, it delivered on its promise: a seamless, efficient, and highly customizable search solution for Squarespace sites. The Monocle team has been fantastic to work with, even scheduling calls to better understand our needs. Their dedication to customer feedback shines through in recent updates, which include:

• Fully featured product search with price, tags etc.
• New options to customize the search bar’s look and feel.
• The ability to index gated (member-only) content, which was a game-changer for us.

The Result: A Better Experience for Everyone

Integrating Monocle has been transformative for our website. Customers can now easily find the resources they need, whether it’s a blog post, tutorial, or plugin guide.

And it’s not just our visitors who benefit — I use Monocle daily while navigating our Squarespace admin dashboard. It’s made managing our growing library of content much smoother and more efficient:
