A-Z Indexes to Enhance Site Searching

Digital Web Magazine - A-Z Indexes to Enhance Site Searching:

  • using an internal search engine to find information on a site often produces poor results; however, you can customize a search engine to search metatags based on keywords that you create for each page
  • A-Z indexes provide an easy, browsable way to search a site; readers are familiar with them from using such indexes in books
  • A-Z indexes work best with “medium-sized Web sites or intranets of between 30 to 300 pages", where pages are not constantly changing
  • you can either hire a profesional to create an index for you, or do it yourself; there are some automated tools that can assist in index creation
