Core Features That Light the Way
Lumenare Search offers a comprehensive suite of tools to transform how visitors find content on your site.
| Feature | What It Does for You |
|---|---|
| Instant Live Search | Results appear as users type with a sleek dropdown—no page reloads required. Your visitors find content faster and stay engaged longer. |
| Weighted Relevance System | Configurable weights and boosts for titles, excerpts, content, taxonomies, authors, custom fields, documents, freshness, clicks, promotions, and audio signals. |
| Keyword Match Modes | Choose between "Match ANY" for broad discovery or "Match ALL" for precision searches. Perfect for different content types. |
| Fuzzy Matching | Typo-tolerant search finds results even when users misspell words. "Computr" still finds "computer." |
| Synonym Support | Define equivalent terms so "car" also finds "automobile" and "vehicle." Expand search coverage without extra content. |
| Phrase Boosting | Boost specific phrases like "Master System" so they rank higher than generic word matches. |
| Dynamic Trending | Automatically boost content that's gaining traction in searches. Popular topics rise to the top. |
| Search Analytics + Intelligence | Track queries, zero-result searches, impressions, click-through rates, CTR opportunities, query promotions, synonym drafts, remediation outcomes, and Search ROI. |
| Search Highlighting | Matching terms are visually highlighted in results so users instantly see why content matched their query. |
| Filterable + Sortable Results | Let visitors narrow by content type, taxonomy, date range, relevance, newest first, or oldest first for faster content discovery. |
| Document Indexing | Optionally search inside uploaded PDFs, Office documents, RTF, text, and OpenDocument files. |
| ASP Migration Tools | Import Ajax Search Pro history, compare imported and native data, and clean up leftovers with guarded previews. |
| Automatic Reindexing | Keep large catalogs caught up with scheduled new-content partial reindexing and clear run status. |
