Value of site search

When customers come to your website, they should be able to find what they are looking for quickly and easily. If you’ve ever used Google, you know what your customers and visitors will like about the Google Search Appliance: the fast, accurate access it gives them to the products, services, and information on your site.

Site Search: Myth VS. Reality

Myth

Your customers don't care about the quality of site search results.

Fact

Eighty percent of visitors will abandon a site with poor search functionality

Myth

Freeware search engine software is good enough for site search.

Fact

Freeware products often end up costing website owners more, both in IT maintenance time and in lost sales and traffic because of poor search results.

Myth

Site search requires significant IT time for administration and maintenance.

Fact

Integrating hardware, software, and support, Google’s search solution is designed to be fast and easy to administer – which helps your IT staff and your bottom line.

Myth

Effective site search means a big up-front investment.

Fact

Unlike traditional site search products – where initial costs for installation, configuration, tweaking, and training can be staggering – the Google Search Appliance lets you avoid both the painful up-front expense and the ongoing hidden costs of maintenance contracts and IT staff time.
