Features
With Google Site Search, you can create a search engine for your organization's websites in just a few minutes. Key features include:
New! On-Demand Indexing
On-Demand Indexing lets you get a select number of pages on your website indexed quickly. You can have the latest version of these pages included in your Google Site Search within 24 hours. Learn more
How can you use the new feature? Watch this video.
Enhanced Index Coverage
Enhanced Index Coverage ensures comprehensive search results on any website by crawling and indexing more content, even for pages deep within a site.
Synonyms
Enable visitors find documents with related terms without having to issue multiple queries. You can easily upload synonym dictionaries specific to your website. For example, (a search for [car] will now include [cars]). You can easily upload a custom synonym dictionary (a search for [fd] would include [fixed deposits] in search results).
Date Biasing
From now on, administrators can influence their search ranking based on the age of the documents (e.g., a recent product datasheet is weighted more heavily than older product documents). This feature can also be disabled and administrators can decide the level of influence for their sites (low, medium, high or maximum).
Top Results Biasing
Google Site Search allows you to target the top search results from specific sections of your website (such as your product catalog).
Additional Features
XML feed of search results: you can choose to further customize the format of search results and integrate results into applications by using the in XML API. The XML API enables you to access the raw search results for your query in XML format, including the URL and description text. Learn more about the XML API.
Customize your look and feel through a simple web interface by uploading your company logo and changing colors on your search results pages.
Ad-free search results With Google Site Search, ads are not included alongside your search results, so searchers will be more likely to stay on your website.
Make refinements to help categorize search results. Refinements are labels that you apply to websites. They appear as a list of links above search results, offering users a way to narrow their search. When a user clicks a refinement label, the sites that you have tagged with that label are given priority in the results. In addition to labeling sites, you can also specify additional words that can be added to users' queries when they click a label, providing even more targeted results.
Subscribed links With the subscribed links feature, you can place links above your search results for search queries of your choice. Promote an event, discount or document to your users. Basic Reporting Reports allow you to see how often people search with your search engine, and what people are searching for.
Multiple language support for your search results. You can specify the language for your Google Site Search Engine. The language setting will be used to set the language of the text on the search results page as well as giving preference to results in that language. You can also specify "All Languages," in which case the language associated with the user's browser will be used.
Supported languages include the following: Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish
