Choosing a Search Engine
Providing a search function is one of the most valuable tools you can provide for visitors to your website and many good options are available to you.
Inexpensive Search Engine Solutions
Search engine solution prices have dropped dramatically, making it affordable for even the smallest organization to add a search function to their website. Below are several easy-to-implement and inexpensive search engine solutions. This list is by no means comprehensive and does not imply an endorsement of these products or services.
Inexpensive solutions include:
- A link to a search engine that indexes your content
- A search box from a search engine that indexes your content.
- Small business or enterprise solutions from major search engines, which can be as inexpensive as $2,000.
Hosted Search Solutions
Hosted search services live on a server located and are managed by a search hosting company. The host’s crawler indexes the pages on your website and stores the index in a database on the remote server. When a user searches your website, the request is directed to the remote server, returning the results to the user.
