Website Search, A-Z and FAQ's

Search is one of the most widely used tools on local authority websites.  Visitors expect to be able to find their way quickly and easily into the parts of your site that are relevant to them.

Open Objects' managed search service is widely used on the websites of UK local authorities, from single districts and boroughs through to large unitaries, counties and regional partnerships. The service provides a wide range of tools to ensure efficient sign-posting of users through the website; including

  • simple and advanced search
  • search single websites or multiple related websites
  • recommended links and in-context sign-posting messages
  • automatic IPSV categorisation and subject browse links
  • integrated search, A-Z and FAQ functions
  • tabbed search results and search by document type
  • user feedback mechanisms including search tag clouds
  • 'deep search' of online databases fully integrated with website search

The search scales to meet any level of demand, providing consistently fast and accurate results.  It is cost effective, easily set-up and is compatible with any content management system (CMS). The search tool on your website is too important a point of access to leave to chance.  Open Objects' managed search service is tuneable in variety of ways so you can provide balanced returns to your users.  It ensures you can accentuate the key pages and start points within your website so users are signposted down the best possible routes through your content.
