Google announced the Site Search service, which allows site owners to implement search functionality via cloud computing. Site owners can customize Google Site Search depending on the nature of their site and their content.
ebizQ received the following:
Google Site Search now offers:
"Cloud computing makes powerful search readily accessible to any business on the web" said Dave Girouard, president of Enterprise, Google. "Website owners typically invest in good content, search optimization and advertising to attract customers -- but often lack a quality search experience once customers arrive. With Google Site Search, websites can immediately increase customer satisfaction as they are improving their business results"
Google Site Search is hosted by Google, and takes advantage of the power of Google infrastructure and flexibility of cloud computing to give any website the same relevance, ease of use and familiar Google.com search experience in addition to more granular control.
Research indicates that customers increasingly rely on search to find information on individual websites:
"Adding Google Site Search to our website not only helps customers, it also helps our support staff and our business" said Layla Rudy, website content manager for EMC Insignia. "Since customers are able to find product information much more easily on EMCInsignia.com, we have seen an 85 percent decrease in customer-requested refunds along with an approximate 20 percent increase in e-commerce sales"
Any business can sign up online, and in less than 10 minutes offer Google Site Search to visitors. In addition to enhanced index coverage, Google Site Search includes all of the benefits site search users have come to rely on:
"Google Site Search has not only helped our customers find and purchase products online more successfully, it has also helped us continually improve our website" said Kay Pham, senior product manager for eHealth Insurance. "By showing us what people are searching for, we can identify upcoming trends and incorporate them into our product development cycle. It’s like an automatic focus group"
