FusionBot - A Free Search Tool You Can Easily Put on Your Website!

TechTips
Many people want to have a search function on their website, but this isn't the easiest thing in the world to create. It takes time, effort, and knowledge; some of you don't want to have to worry about those three things. Well now you are in luck there is a free tool called FusionBot that can be easily put on your webpage that has search capabilities. FusionBot is a free program and also offers many advanced versions that are provided for a fee, but the basic version is free and quite useful.

The free packages of FusionBot includes indexing of 250 pages, indexed monthly, basic reporting functions, sitemap, and various other search indexing features. The features are basic and limited but they will function pretty well for a small personal site or even a small business site without to much trouble. To get the program you can go to (http://www.fusionbot.com/) register and start using the product. Once you are registered they will assist you with setting up the FusionBot program to enable the searching of your website.

It seems pretty straightforward with the basic package, cut and dry, with a minimal set of functions you are allowed to perform and a limit on the amount of stuff you can index. Like I said the basic free package would work great for a small personal website or small business website. This is just a time saver for anyone who doesn't want to take the time to develop a web search function of their own. FusionBot can also save you money, you would otherwise have to hire someone to write the code for you and create the product to search your website. This can take a lot of time and a lot of money, programmers don't work cheap!

If you want more info about the packages go to (http://www.fusionbot.com/packages.asp) and there is a pretty long list of what they offer with each of the packages. I have only used the free version and cant vouch for the upgraded "pay" versions but if they do half the things they claim I would say they might be worth a look. I would research these pretty heavily before you commit to one, make sure if you are going to spend the money you will be getting what you want and need. If you aren't a technical person enlist some help from a friend who knows more about the internet and search tools.

The website is a pretty easy one to use, you register, get the product make the code changes and then it helps you to setup the indexing services the way you want them so users can search your site effectively. If you go start to finish you can get this program up and running in about 15 minutes, with very little road blocks or problems. They have a good support team that is willing to help you out when ever you hit snags with the website, program, or any other problem you think might be associated with FusionBot.

Over all out of all the free search tools around this seems to be the best of them all. The Google On-site search seems to be pretty limited and doesn't have much in the way of user controls for the site owners and only auto indexes once a month. You can pick anyone you want but this one is completely free and worth a shot at using. It normally works pretty well with some basic sites I have tested it on and I don't have a problem with it.

Make sure you follow the instructions properly when putting the search capabilities on your site so that it will work properly; they have a pretty good FAQ for answering any questions you might run into. There can sometimes be issues with the Search tool if you aren't careful but if you look through their FAQ you can get it figured out. FusionBot overall a good little tool to use on your website and will allow your users to have a search option so they can easily find what they need. So go try out FusionBot all it will cost you is 15 minutes and a few lines of code.
