Pros

Fairly easy to set up, good price, excellent, responsive support - would have been frustrating if we would have had to wait a couple days for support emails. Hope this doesn't go away.

Cons

\- It should be able to detect duplicate pages automatically, but it doesn't if there is a "/" on end, which is really frustrating and causes a ton of rework. - Really old school that there is no way to rename the profile domain...most people would start with a dev url, not the production, and no way to change it afterwards...really confusing when managing more than one account. - Fairly clumsy way of handling more than one account...in general - during the purchase experience. Very confusing.

A simple, effective solution when Google decided to sunset their personalized site search.

Pros

SiteSearch360 was incredibly simple to setup and use. We love being able to setup the dictionary with synonyms. We also love the control that is available for indexing inclusions & exclusions.

Cons

When the site is re-indexed, any custom results added to that query get set to match the first in the grouping. This is a hassle, because it means we have to go in and spot check periodically to make sure that the system didn't override some of our important featured results.

Pros

Implementing to our existing search box was critical to the look of our site, but also the ability to control search results was a bonus. We are now tracking our users even better than before and providing them a better experience. Also, their support team is quick!

Cons

Wish the query mapping would keep when we re-index. Also, the navigation on othe admin side is not intuitive.

It allows us to provide an internal site search.

Pros

Great customer support. Reasonably easy to use and highly customizable. I particularly like that is is easy to see when indexing fails for some reason.

Cons

The search algorithm is not as good as Google's. The results have needed to be massaged quite a bit to be high quality. Integration with Wordpress and Drupal both took some work.

Pros

There seems to be a lot of customization options - we like options to add meta noindex, specific search word combination with redirect, results display inline or in popup window.

Cons

The 2nd tier pricing is a bit steep for us. Our visitors don't use the search that often so it is hard to justify month expense.

A good search tool on our Web site

Pros

We came from Google Site Search. The Interface backend/frontend is nice and good compared to Google. But as expected are the Google search results really outstanding. No other search engine (not even Bing) came even close to Googles quality.

Cons

Perhaps the back button/reload behaviour of the standard user interface is not very pleasing.

Searching multiple domains, configuration of search terms

Pros

It allows us to search multiple domains from a single tool, great when you are running a blog on marketing automation platform with a different sub domain from the main website.

Overall solution that covers various subsites, languages etc

Pros

seems to be quite powerful - we found solutions for all our needs. usually, you can understand why something is hapening. Search results can easily be optimized manually.

Cons

often looking quite long for a solution. Most features exist, but if you are not a poweruser or a search pro, the interface isn't that easy to understand. Don't think that the search is learning by itself.

Pros

I like that you can organize searches based on content groups. I like that it's not the standard Google search that shows ads. I like that you can pin posts/content to the top of searches.

Cons

It seems like it will be time consuming to organize search results because we have a ton of content.

Custom search on our website allows our customers to look for products within our own site. A paid feature we had with Google but it has been discontinued. SiteSearch360 made it possible to have it again without external ads. Price, functionality, ease of use. Software crawls the entire site & stores website links making it very fast to get results for the queries. Integrates very well within the website, does not slow the server & the results are always right.

Pros

Ease of use; the pop up results window will keep you on the same page which is good for customers looking for certain products.

Search available starting at relatively low cost for organizations on a budget, though you get what you pay for at that very low cost, and nothing more.

Pros

Look and feel is very customizable, can integrate the search modules with the site's branding. Easy to set up. Option for search results in modal window or separate window. Integration quality and ease is much higher than the now-defunct Google Site Search was. Search available starting at relatively low cost for organizations on a budget.

Cons

Ranking of pages seemed all over the map, with less relevant pages often coming up first in results. Seems to be driven by keywords only, not actual relevance. No ability to manually weight certain pages as more likely to appear in search results and rank others as less likely to appear. Could not tell difference between lowest-tier paid plan and the free plan.

easy to use. i like the interface. The search results were the best initial ones of all the other software trials we tested.

Cons

im torn between wanting easy of use and granular data - i do wish for more granular in some areas like viewing all the pages in the index. i would like to override some searches since i don't fell the promote always works.

Our customers and staff are able to enter a search term and immediately find the product they are looking for. It is a terrific addition to our website.

Pros

The customer support has been extremely responsive and helpful. They took time through email to offer guidance and advice. Their responses were so quick that it seemed like they were in the next town over not 3,500 miles away. The SiteSearch 360 application is quite powerful and has lots of features that we have been fine-tuning. We like the fact that we can streamline every aspect of the search function from using our CSS file, to the type of search box, to the way the results appear. Thank you SiteSearch 360 for creating a tool that is very sophisticated yet even a non-programmer can implement. Highly Recommend!!

Cons

We played around with SiteSearch 360 for several months before implementing it on our site. There are a LOT of features to learn, which is understandable. It is not so much that we dislike Query Mapping but having the query return meaningful results is important and has been challenging. We learned that the search results can be ranked based on different query. This is complicated because we have 1,200 products. If you plug in a specific product, that product should appear on the top of the results page.

Better searches for our users, compared with Google Site Search. And the possibility to easily create beautiful ads or promoted results, which can be edited in pure HTML.

Pros

Its very cheap compared to the other alternatives out there, and yet it offers the flexibility to tweak searches with xpaths and HTML. There are almost no limits to Your possibilities for creating relevant and sales generating result pages. The guys who runs the customer service listens to Your input and are extremely quick to implement the changes.

Cons

The implementation could be made easier for smaller companies with an online website builder and without the nessecary knowhow to implement the javascript.

You need some technical skills to customize the look&feel and use the xpath feature a pricing plan for big multilanguage websites would be appreciated (currently if you have a 4 language website you need to subscribe to 4 different plans)
