Drupal Advanced Site Search

If you have a website built in Drupal, then, first of all, congratulations!! You are using the best (and most flexible) open-sourced CMS available (in our humble opinion). Drupal is a powerful system that is scalable and flexible…there’s really only one downside: it doesn’t come with comprehensive site search functionality out of the box. If you want good site search for Drupal, then we have the solution for you.

Best Rank’s Drupal site search is built using open sourced Lucene and Solr technologies from the Apache project. We’ve developed a module that easily plugs into your existing Drupal website and serves up comprehensive search data to your site visitors.

Benefits of Best Rank’s Drupal Site Search Module:

• Comprehensive Results – Showcase all of the content you’ve worked so hard to publish on your site.
• Customizable Results Pages – Want to promote certain sections of your website over others? Best Rank’s Drupal Module allows you to customize the search results based on your business objectives.
• Easy Integration – Simply install the Best Rank search module, customize the schema, and you’re up and running. There’s no hardware to buy, no servers to maintain, and no dynamic applications to manage. 
• Security – We use a triple redundant system to back up your data and indexes. We keep a core set of data on one server, and then 2 more backups on other servers. In case of total failure, we’ve got your data covered and secure.
• Faster Results – Best Rank’s search module is hosted in the cloud, which makes returning search results to your site fast…very fast!!
• Reduced Cost – We host all of your data, which significantly reduces server costs.

Example Drupal Site Search

Below is an example of site search running on a drupal based website.  The right hand column contains dynamically generated search facets that can be used to refine a given search.  Facets can be positioned by the administrator and can be customized to fit the needs of the business or can be turned off entirely.

Features of Best Rank’s Drupal Site Search Module:

• Weighted Results – Want to return certain results when visitors search? No problem. Maybe you have seasonal specials or promotions…you can return these results higher than others.
• Faceted Search – Refine searches by clicking on filters.
• Sort Results – Visitors can sort by a number of factors including date, author, content type, and more.
• Recommend Content – Suggest related content to your visitors. Return popular searches based on the visitor’s search query. Increase the stickiness of your website…keep visitors more engaged and on the site longer.
• Spell Checking and Similar Results – “Did you mean ____?” OR “More like this…”
