MultiExcerptNameFeature Overview

Previous We have widened our search functionality focused on to not only search for products, but we have widened the parameters to include related also static content, such as articles, videos, or images.

Not only can your customers search for a specific item, but their search could also return additional content, such as marketing material, assembly videos, or feature articles on product care. A search for “delivery” may return results related to lead times or cost. A customer could search for firmware files to upgrade the smart device they purchased from you.



How does it work?

The search engine will walk the publicly accessible page content and index accordingly.
