SearchUnit ASP.NET

SearchUnit is a full-text search engine for web sites and applications. Fully compatible with multiple frameworks, including; MVC, Razor, ASP.NET Web Forms, HTML, ASP and more.

Whether you’re building a straightforward website, looking to add a feature rich search engine to your Content Management System or looking for a customizable search control for your enterprise wide web applications, SearchUnit provides your users with an intuitive search experience that’s second to none.

For developers

SearchUnit is flexible enough for those with little coding experience as well as developers that love to take their applications to the next level. With that in mind, Keyoti have made an open API along with the ability to manage all aspects of the search engine’s index and behaviour programmatically. Lots of C# and VB.NET code examples and tutorials throughout the documentation help you to make the most out of your new search interface.

Features

AutoComplete

Allow your search box to spring to life with auto-complete suggestions. Relevant terms are shown to the user as they type in the search box, saving them time as well as letting them see alternative suggestions or popular searches.

Furthermore, auto-complete is fully customizable. You can add your own suggestions, show the number of potential search results for a query, change the source of suggestions from the index lexicon, to popular searches, or both. You’re even free to hook-in to the auto-complete behaviour and add your own logic using either Javascript or our plug-in architecture.

Content and Location Categories

Assign documents in your index to specific categories, helping your search users narrow down their search criteria and find the information they need faster. The free Index Management Tool included with SearchUnit makes setting up and assigning categories simple and fast. In addition, developers can setup content and location categories through meta tags, or the central event system.

With the ability to further filter content and create a truly faceted search experience, users can find the data they are looking for faster than ever.

AJAX through and through

A new AJAX based user interface was created for SearchUnit. Search results can be shown on a single page, without needing to reload. Documents can also be previewed within search results so users don’t have to click through to check the information they need, will be there.

Powerful Index Management

The Index Manager Tool, included with SearchUnit, provides an easy and effective way of managing every aspect of your index. A web based administration application is also provided, allowing you to manage the index, categories and configuration. An optional Windows Service can be installed to update the index periodically as you wish - ensuring your index remains up to date and relevant.
