Site Search Web Design Services
Once a web site has grown over a certain size, a site search facility becomes more and more important. Users these days are familiar with the concept of locating information through site search facilities and also expect accurate and timely results.
MRMedia Group have been featured for our Site Search implementations. We can integrate Site Search facilities that not only look and feel like part of your web site, they deliver precise results fast.
We can implement Site Search facilities that support asp (for Microsoft hosting environments), php (for UNIX or Linux environments) or CGI for where there are over 65,000 pages to be included in the index. Within that we can support content in standard HTML webpages as well as dynamic database driven content. We can also index the following:
- Microsoft Word documents (.doc files)
- Microsoft Excel spreadsheets (.xls files)
- Microsoft PowerPoint presentations (.ppt files)
- Adobe Acrobat files (.pdf files)
- Macromedia Shockwave Flash animations and Flash Papers (.swf files)
- Rich Text Files (.rtf files)
- WordPerfect documents (.wpd files)
These additional document types make our Site Search implementations particularly powerful as well as very useful for corporate intranet environments where collaboration on projects involves sharing resources in these popular formats. In fact we can spider not only web sites, we can include a spidering of your network too for easy file access.
Other features we include as standard are:
- Search results sorted by relevance or by date
- Wildcard searching (eg. "MRM?", "*design*")
- Exact phrase searching
- "Google-like" context search results
- Highlight words found in search results
- Provide spelling suggestions and synonyms
- Exclusion/negative searches
- Capable of serving up to 300 queries per minute
- Log all searches made on your website and generate detailed pie-charts and graphical statistic reports so you know what your visitors are looking for
- Completely customisable search page appearance to fit in with your existing site look and feel
- International language support (various charset support, UTF-8, accent, diacritic and ligature options, translated search pages and more)
- Break web sites into Categories for easier searching or provide search across multiple web sites from one search facility
A very good example of our Site Search is our implementation for Rising Dragon Enterprises. This site search compiles results from four web sites under five categories including an OsCommerce php powered e-Commerce store.
Site Search facilities are easily integrated with existing web sites and can be deployed relatively quickly. We can offer this as a managed outsourced service with updates to your index being delivered on a pre-agreed frequency or we can provide infrastructure for you to run it in-house.
Site Search costs suprisingly little! We charge a one-off set up fee of £120 to create your search pages that look and feel like the rest of your web site and provide an initial crawl. We can send you additional HTML code if you want to add search facilities to multiple pages or we can add it for you for a small fee. Thereafter we charge £9.99 for a once a month re-index or £19.99 for weekly re-indexing for web sites of up to 15,000 pages. Intranet prices are determined differently according to whether your IT department can allow us secure remote access, but still remain extremely competitive.
MRMedia Group's Site Search web design service gives you the power to control your web site search results, it's highly customisable and is advertising free. Call 0208 123 9800 to find out how we can take you from information overload to information at your finger tips.
