Extended Search

Extended Search extension greatly improves search results. This extension finds exactly what your customers look for. It runs its own search algorithm, based on products' "weights", which are being calculated dynamically for every search query. Ability to define a priority for every product's attribute allows you to correct search results by changing the way how a search "weight" for products is calculated.
Moreover, Extended Search allows displaying any products' attributes near the search field so that your customers will be able to select what attribute they want to use for their search and narrow the found results.
All this makes your search results incredibly relevant.

Features

Sphinx Integration

Extended Search extension fully supports Sphinx search engine and integrates Sphinx with Magento to make your search incredibly relevant.

What Sphinx is. Sphinx is an open source full text search server, designed from the ground up with performance, relevance (aka search quality), and integration simplicity in mind. It's written in C++ and works on Linux (RedHat, Ubuntu, etc), Windows, MacOS, Solaris, FreeBSD, and a few other systems.

Sphinx lets you either batch index and search data stored in an SQL database, NoSQL storage, or just files quickly and easily — or index and search data on the fly, working with Sphinx pretty much as with a database server.

To get more about Sphinx please visits its official website sphinxsearch.com

Who uses Sphinx. Top websites such as Craigslist, Living Social, MetaCafe and Groupon use Sphinx every day. (to view a complete list of known users please visit Powered-by page.)
