  2. Why have search box for your website or CD/DVD? • Why have search box for your website or CD/DVD? • To make it easy for users to find information on your site • Expected by users as an additional navigation aid • Vital on large sites – useful on smaller ones • How to do it for free • Use a main search engine, restricting the results to your site • What’s wrong with this? • The results page doesn’t come from your site, and will look unprofessional because it does not match your site’s appearance • The results page may contain adverts for your competitors • The search may be out of date because the indexer has not visited all your site recently

  3. The benefits of a custom search engine • The benefits of a custom search engine • Customisable to integrate into your site - using templates, style sheets or under program control • No ads are shown - unless you add them • The search is up to date: indexing is done regularly, or on demand • Advanced search facilities can be tailored to your site’s needs, eg: • section selection, eg restrict to a particular service or product • field search, eg author • vital pages can be boosted to the top of the results for certain searches • programmers can filter or sort results • Search words can be highlighted in shown hits • Downsides of a custom search engine • Server requirements, set up skills and maintenance required • Solution: use a hosted search, ie outsource to an application service provider
