F A Q - S e a r c h   E n g i n e

Q:
I've got a lot of products on my site and need a search engine for people to shop them efficiently. Can you help?

A:
Yes. We support a VERY easy method to build a search database of your products that can be searched, with results returned in a format ready to add to the cart! It's part of our database interface suite of tools.

You just need to have product data in the csv format (comma separated fields). The CSV file can be created from virtually ANY database program/spreadsheet that can save data as type "csv". (Almost all do)

You can also create a csv file with a plain text editor.

To use this powerful feature, you upload your data to our server, we process it and save it in a database. You then add the search engine input form anywhere on your site that you wish.

Obviously this is a simplistic overview. Full details are at:

The above page has more Q&A in it along with the documentation on how to use the feature.

Here is the URL to a sample search engine interface:

Hint: The data is video games so search for "Mario"!
