SearchBlox V5.1 with "Featured Results" released
"Featured Results" offer Sponsored-Search like functionality within SearchBlox
Richmond, Virginia, Oct 16, 2008 - SearchBlox Software, Inc. today released Version 5.1 of SearchBlox Content Search Software. The latest release incorporates a new feature called "Featured Results" and performance improvements that make the application perform atleast twice as fast as the previous versions.
The new "Featured Results" feature brings sponsored-search like functionality to SearchBlox. Featured Results allow highlighting of links in the search results page when the user searches for specific words. All the functionality to create, manage and deliver "Featured Results" are accessible from within the SearchBlox Admin Console. One major advantage of the "Featured Results" in SearchBlox is the ability to automatically extract the keywords for the highlighted link directly from the link. Administrators will benefit in the time saved in not having to manually enter the keywords for each highlighted link that needs to be setup. In addition to text-based Featured Results, SearchBlox also supports graphic-based Featured Results similar to banner ads.
Delivery of Featured Results can either be count-based (number of times the result should be displayed) or time-based (specific time period during which the result should be displayed). The display of the Featured Results in the search result page is completely customizable using the XML data from SearchBlox.
