Acquia Search

Acquia Search helps your visitors find content on your site faster, so they stay on your site longer.

Visitors come to your website seeking information - about your products, community or organization. Regardless of how they arrive at your site - from search engines, direct URL or from another site - they quickly want to answer the question "Is there more information here that's worth my time?" And performance matters to your visitors. Google estimates that for every 500 milliseconds of load time, the number of searches drops 20%. Amazon claims that every 100 milliseconds of load time causes a 1% drop in sales.

Why On-site Search Matters to Your Business

The ubiquitous search box has become the defacto information gateway on the Web. Built into browsers, portals and websites, its the most important user experience for delivering context-specific information in real-time. Businesses spend countless hours focusing on search engine optimization techniques to increase traffic flow to their website, while overlooking the search experience on their own site, wasting a valuable opportunity to use existing site content to convert visitors into customers.

Acquia Search will improve your on-site user experience, keeping visitors on your site longer and increasing the number of pages they view per visit.
