It is now increasingly popular to be able to search for static content such as SEO metadata and articles on a selling site. For example, you can make searchable how products are used, through articles, blogs, videos and pictures. | ||

We have widened our search functionality to not only search for products, but also static content, such as articles, videos, or images. Your customers can search for a specific product as well as additional content, such as marketing material, assembly videos, or feature articles on product care. A search for “delivery” may return results related to lead times or cost. A customer could search for firmware files to upgrade the smart device they purchased from you. We have widened the search functionality to include such static content. |
