Sphinx Search

by Extendware

Search Sphinx allows customers to find the products they want quicker. Around 43% to 50% of e-commerce customers use site search to find products . Customers will leave your store if they cannot find the products they want. Your store is losing a lot of potential sales if your search is slow or returning poor results.

How important is fast site search? Well consider the following:
A customer will not be able to order products from your store if they cannot find them. Relevant results matter and Sphinx Search will make your results more relevant and faster. According to Gomez, every second delay in site load time results in a 7% reduction in revenue. Forrester research has found that 52% of people consider speed to be important to their site loyalty. It is well-established that faster and more relevant search results will improve a stores revenue.

Features / Benefits

Search results are actually relevant

Default search oftentimes returns poor results. Search Sphinx ensures that the most relevant results are presented to your customers which can increase sales.

Search speed is super fast

Search speed can be much faster when using Search Sphinx. This is especially true for sites with more products.

Boost certain product attributes to increase relevance

Imagine you have two product attributes that are indexed, but one of them is more relevant for searching. You can boost the influence of the more important attribute, so that the attribute will be given more consideration when calculating relevance. Common uses are to give sku numbers or the name more relevancy

Support for word synonyms

Synonyms ensure that customers can still find products even if they use an unpopular word. For example, a computer store can use synonyms so laptop and notebook will return similar results.

Support for many languages

Sphinx Search works for all languages, but it includes special tools to be even more accurate with some languages such as:

  • Arabic
  • Czech
  • Dutch
  • English
  • German
  • Chinese
  • Finnish
  • French
  • Hungarian
  • Italian
  • Norwegian
  • Portuguese
  • Romanian
  • Russian
  • Spanish
  • Swedish
  • Turkish
  • Indexing of product tags / categories

    Sometimes the category or product tags contain relevant information and should be searchable, so we give you the option to index this data.

    Shared host friendly - no external search server needed!

    You will not need to install any external search servers. Our solution works in shared host environments.

    Search result caching

    Search results will be cached by Magento to speed up repeat searches.

    Stemming that supports multiple languages

    Stemming will ensure that singulars such as dog will also match a plural such as dogs.

    Stop words to reduce index size

    Common words (such as the, by, etc) can be excluded from the index in order to make the index more efficient.

    Hyphen and number tokenization

    Tokenization of numbers and hyphens is great if your catalog includes a lot of product model numbers or sku numbers that make use of hyphens or numbers.

    Full UTF-8 support

    And much, much more!
