AI-Powered Website Search Rises to Meet the Search-First Generation

SearchStax, Inc., the Search Experience Company, today announced it has been named to the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies. The recognition reflects the company’s strong growth as demand accelerates for AI-powered website search and digital experience solutions.

The Inc. 5000 list is the most prestigious ranking of privately held businesses in the U.S., highlighting companies with exceptional revenue growth over the past three years. Past honorees include Microsoft, Intuit, Zoom, and Zappos.

“Website search is a rising strategic driver of customer engagement,” said Sameer Maggon, founder and CEO of SearchStax. “Being named to the Inc. 5000 reflects the outcomes we’re delivering for customers — and the urgency organizations feel to simplify and strengthen the search experience. This award is a proud milestone for our team as we continue helping organizations unlock faster, smarter, more impactful website search.”

Why Now: The Search-First Generation Has Arrived

A generational shift is reshaping digital expectations. In 2025, Gen Z — who grew up expecting instant answers across search bars, apps and social platforms — is estimated to make up 30% of the global workforce, according to earlier projections from the World Economic Forum. This “search-first” mindset now shapes how users engage with websites. To meet these expectations, organizations are elevating search from a utility to a strategic driver of digital experience, discoverability and conversion.
