Automatic language detection allows customers to implement stemming, spell-checking and suggestion capabilities very simply.
- Spatial / Geospatial - CrownPeak Search G2 is fully spatial / geospatial aware, enabling customers to implement geographic enriched search features, such as 'Find an Office' or by ensuring that geographically relevant content is presented to your customer.
- Public and Private Content - Customers want to be able to quickly find content that is relevant to them. Why should this be restricted only to content that is publicly available, making the post-login experience less rewarding? CrownPeak Search G2 fully supports indexing & query of content, regardless of whether it is public or private in nature.
- Realtime Indexing - CrownPeak Search G2 is directly connected to the core Content Management platform, enabling Realtime Indexing of content at publish time - ensuring that the most recent content is always presented to your customer. Realtime Indexing also enables the publication of page-based content to CrownPeak Search G2, enabling search to play a core part in the navigational experience of your customer to enhance their experience.
- Regular and Polite Crawling - In addition to Realtime Indexing, CrownPeak Search G2 fully supports regular crawling of your website (multiple times per day). Website crawling can help you to provide the best possible search experience across all customer touch-points, by indexing content that is located elsewhere in your organization, yet still relevant to the customer, creating a more rounded experience. CrownPeak Search G2 also respects any rules that you deploy within your robots.txt file, meaning that you have full control over what content is crawled, and how often.
- Standards-Based API - We know that your teams need to work with standards-based APIs, to ensure that they can do their jobs quickly and efficiently. CrownPeak Search G2 implements a RESTful API for querying, and returns results in JSON or XML, depending on your requirements. This makes it perfect for powering powerful applications, across any channel or device without additional development effort.
- SDK - CrownPeak Search G2 includes a fully supported Software Development Kit, enabling you to on-board quickly, and with less technical involvement than many search platforms.
