SearchStax Managed Search Free Trial

---

The SearchStax Managed Search service offers a 14-Day Free Trial program for prospective customers. No credit card is required for the duration of your free trial and you can experiment with SearchStax for two weeks, free of charge.

The purpose of the trial is to demonstrate how easy it is to deploy, manage and maintain your Solr infrastructure with SearchStax at a value that cannot be replicated with do-it-yourself or third-party hosting.
