Kentico CMS comes with the built-in Smart search module that enables you to search for the given expression in the content of your website.

 

The search functionality is ensured by the Special pages -> Search page, where the Smart search dialog with results web part (1. in the screenshot) is placed. This web part allows searching and displays the search results.

 

The Smart search box web part (2. in the screenshot) on the master page is connected to the Smart search dialog with results web part by means of the Search results page URL property. When a user searches using the Smart search box, they are redirected to the Special pages -> Search page where the Smart search dialog with results web part displays the results.

The Smart search module provides index-based search. You need to specify which index should be searched using the Indexes property of the Smart search dialog with results web part.

 

Indexes can be created and managed in Site Manager -> Administration -> Smart search. For detailed information about Kentico CMS Smart search module, please refer to Kentico CMS Developer's Guide -> Modules -> Smart search.
