About our search: https://www.expertrec.com/#
Our search uses ExpertRec. They are the best search engine upgrade from Google Embedded Search - providing better features and no adverstisements. OScommerce search is really bad and we needed a quality search engine on our site. Google decided they were not going to allow us to pay to not have advertisments. Forturnelty for us, ExpertRec came up as a recommended alternative on many of the forums.
Most of our site visitors use the search functionality to find and buy products which makes it one of the most important features on our website. We have 7000 products and it's not also best to browse when you get to the home page or google didn't find the right page to start with.
Easy Implementation: The initial setup process was simple to take live. we added our website URL and Expertrec’s search engine was able to crawl 8000+ pages in quickly. It was also able to crawl and index content within PDFs and other documents. The take live process was as simple as adding a piece of code to our website.
Exhaustive and robust search: The search UI was perfect and worked great across devices and screen sizes. The spell correct feature performed great in handling common typos and the crawlers were also able to take the correct image from the page to showcase in the search results. Expertrec’s dashboard had an exhaustive set of controls to adjust search features which helped us to implement changes in our search instantly with no coding.
For example, we wanted to restrict our search results to the sitemap only, in the dashboard. We had 3 sitemaps, and we wanted to give more weightage to one of our sitemaps in the search results. Fortunately, Expertrec supported adding weights to the sitemap. We were able to add a priority field in the sitemap which was picked up by Expertrec’s crawlers and re-rank search results.
Their UI editor helped us do quick changes to our search front end. We have been using Expertrec’s search solution for more than a year and are very happy with their service levels.
Great support: Right throughout the implementation, Expertrec’s support staff were highly responsive. They promptly added new features that helped us in improving our search engine experience. Thanks to Expertrec, we are now able to deliver a great search experience on our website.
