Search Boost 4.0 – find that special something, now faster than ever

You've used it, you've heard talks about it, and now Search Boost comes more powerful than ever. Check out the hot features in the video!


Searching through a site is one of the decisive stages of the buying process. With Search Boost, making the search doesn’t just work, it’s a process where you can customize basically every step and have control over the results.

Search Boost 4.0 is completely rewritten and improved, a lot of the previous bugs being fixed. One major feature of 4.0 is the live search option, which updates result as you write in the search box. Other features include:
-The Search Boost Behavior concept which replaces the Instance Index. You can now create the settings for the search boxes as you want them to be. Multiple modules and skin objects can have the same behavior
-Improved rendering engine for the search due to changes in Search Input Box and Search Results, which now use Razor instead of XML (reverting back to the old XSL template can be done manually from UI settings)
-Redesigned Search Boost Studio to be more intuitive

 

When upgrading to Search Boost 4.0, you should know that:

1. If you developed custom add-ons for Search Boost module, you need to retarget our core assembly from avt.searchboost.core to dnnsharp.searchboost.core. If you are working directly with SB database tables, you should know that the prefix for them has also changed from avt_ to dnnsharp_

2. Import/Export does not work from previous versions to 4.0. Consider upgrading Search Boost before using the import/export function. Import/Export can now be done from Search Boost admin screen (also for Skin Objects).

 

Don’t forget about the Search Boost Add-Ons:

-the DMX extension to index the content of the Document Exchange (DMX) module

-Live Tabs to index content from Live Tabs Module

-Advanced Search for complex search options created through custom forms

-PDF Box - skip the IFilter configuration with PDF Box to index PDF files.

The minimum requirements are DNN 7.3.4.+ ans ASP.NET 4.0+.
