Many companies even define their product catalog structure based on their internal organization rather than on the end user, who is ultimately the one using the website.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s key to remember that internal search is increasingly important and even more relevant because it helps reduce bounce rate and contributes to higher conversion.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some <strong>points to consider when implementing an internal search engine<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Give it context<\/strong>. Use clear, descriptive text so users immediately understand it\u2019s a search box. It should stand out within the site structure (preferably in the header) and remain visible throughout browsing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Autocomplete or suggestions<\/strong>. This feature saves users time and optimizes search results.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Semantic search<\/strong>. This type of search delivers more results. Adding long-tail results makes it possible to find similar or complementary products naturally.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cross selling<\/strong>. This can also be worked on by adding attributes and relationships between substitute or complementary products.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optimize results<\/strong>. Work on synonyms or alternative words, singulars and plurals, and even spelling mistakes or typos.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No-results page<\/strong>. Try to return results for as many search terms as possible and, when there are none, customize the page with product suggestions, promotional modules and links to the site\u2019s most important categories and sections.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/trilogi.com\/en\/?source=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Trilogi<\/strong> <\/a>we offer an excellent internal search solution that meets every requirement for optimal performance and achieving your goals.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an external solution integrated into our <a href=\"https:\/\/trilogi.com\/crear-tienda-virtual?source=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>LogiCommerce<\/strong> <\/a>platform called <strong>Doofinder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The features and advantages of this search engine are<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Typo tolerance<\/strong><br \/>\nSearch technology based on a semantic processing architecture that ensures customers find the products they\u2019re looking for, minimizing spelling and typing errors in the search process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Phonetic search technology<br \/>\n<\/strong>Phonetic search technology corrects terms that are misspelled but phonetically correct.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Knowledge base<br \/>\n<\/strong>Doofinder\u2019s technology currently handles over 50 million searches.
