Is anyone familiar with this product?

We have a retail website w/ about 1,000 products....and we're wondering if this is the right tool for us.

One feature we want out of a search engine on our site is the ability to place more weight on certain fields than others. Instead of just having a spider search our site for pages dense with the search term.....we would like to customize the results a bit. We would like to place the most importance on the title, medium importance on the description, and even exclude certain details about a product. Also, we would even need it to exclude certain brands completely.

If anyone has any familiarity with this tool at all.....I'd be very interested to hear what you have to say.

If this isn't the tool for us.....any other recommendations?

Thanks much!

The most affordable Mini searches up to 50,000 documents for $1,995 – including all hardware, software and a year of support.

Ideal for the disorganised office!

$2000 for a searchable site with under 1,000 pages. Kinda expensive for that site. I was thinking it was a search engine script of some sort that was either free or not expensive. I suppose for other sites it would be helpful.

Oh, I'm assuming it's a search engine that you install with your web site, right?

I'm pretty sure you install it on your server, and can access it VIA the back end of your site, stumbled across it yonks ago, saw the price and ran away lol

I just don't understand the price, it's aimed at small companies but I'd imagine the price to scare them off, and those with that sought of money to throw around are usually well organised anyway sad
