"No
major website can do without a search utility. Search utilities make
it much easier for visitors to find specific information. But building a
search engine is way beyond most Web builder's skill sets. The text on
the site has to be indexed, and a query has to be built that allows
people to drop in keywords and come up with results.
Fortunately,
(PicoSearch will) let you add search functions to your site without a
lot of hassle... To show you how easy it is, we'll walk you through
adding a free PicoSearch to your site. While other options require you
to install some software on your server, you can set up PicoSearch on
any site, no matter who's hosting it." |

Only eight months after its launch, Grassroots Music, Inc.
had so many tunes for sale that customers were getting lost in the
online music retailer's electronic aisles. Company president Kirby
Trapolino quickly signed up for PicoSearch, a free search engine to help
his customers better navigate the site.
PicoSearch allows him to index the site every time he adds new
products, so new titles show up in searches immediately. Trapolino also
analyzes top search queries to see what customers are seeking and adds
those items to his inventory. "Signing up with PicoSearch was one of the best investments we've made," he says. - from article by Laurie Joan Aron for fsb.com |
