V5.0 site search launched by Visual Sciences
Visual Sciences (formerly known as WebSideStory) has launched version 5.0 of its award-winning site search solution. The latest version standardises workflows and presentation templates, "making configuration more intuitive while streamlining the implementation process" - and, as the company is keen to announce, allows fast track deployment ensuring new functionality is up and running on e-retailers' sites "well before the Christmas shopping season".
In addition to the rapid deployment, new features include geographic searching, targeted presentations and related content or product information in the context of the search results.
"Personalised alerts" enables opt-in update emails to be sent to customers when new content or product information that matches their predefined interests is posted on the site.
"Site search is one of the most effective selling tools for any e-commerce website, so it is important that businesses are able to optimise their solution in time for Christmas. The ability to quickly deploy Search 5.0 will ensure that our clients are ready for the busiest shopping season of the year," said Brian Sullivan, senior vice president and general manager of search and content solutions at Visual Sciences.
"Visual Sciences continues to build on our track-record of delivering an industry-leading site search solution, adding new feature enhancements that increase overall website ROI and make site searchability much more intuitive and faster for end-users."
