An Overview of our Features.
Here you will find an overview of all the current features of ke_search and ke_search Premium. For detailed information and further details, you can always refer to our comprehensive documentation.
Diverse Indexing
In addition to regular pages, ke_search allows indexing of various types of content. This includes, for example, file contents (PDF, PPT, DOC, XLS), system categories, news (tt_news & news), file metadata, and specialized database-driven content (news, products, etc.). We also provide an additional indexer for community extensions (e.g., "mask"). And of course, it is expandable through custom indexers!
The Remote Indexer
The "Remote" indexer allows transferring search results from one TYPO3 instance to another and linking them accordingly. This enables covering multiple TYPO3 websites with a single search form.
Community Extensions and ke_hooks
Need additional indexing options? With additional indexers for community extensions (e.g., "mask"), you can easily expand ke_search as needed. Furthermore, we provide ke_hooks as a tool in the form of an example extension, allowing you to create your own indexer.
"Did you mean?" Functionality
Using the OpenThesaurus database, if no exact match is found, similar words are suggested to the visitor. This helps identify and overcome typographical errors.
In-Word Search
By utilizing native MySQL, we have enhanced our search extension to provide more refined results. Now, even search terms that are part of longer words will be associated with results containing those longer words. For example, searching for "tire" will yield content where the word "car tire" appears.
Auto-Completion
With the help of auto-completion, visitors are presented with relevant word suggestions as they type their search queries. These suggestions are based on real search terms entered and are considered only if they lead to actual matches. The foundation for this feature is the jQuery framework.
Clearness of Results
With various sorting functions (e.g., by date or relevance) and a page browser, users have the ability to customize the display of results according to their preferences and explore them. By highlighting the search term and displaying images in the results, users are provided with visual cues to quickly grasp their interests.
