Is Your Search Engine Paying Off? Monitoring Search Conversion Rates

This was really enlightening and I had never heard of constructor.io before but it seems pretty damn awesome.

Amazing how many people just slap a keyword search interface on their site and call it a day... They'd be better off pointing at Google rather than rolling a crappy home grown solution.

Some friends and I have been throwing around an idea like this, but glad to see someone else is working on it (and doing a better job that I could).

Good post explaining table stakes for reasoning about whether your site search works (and measuring whether changes make it work better).<p>If anyone is interested in having this but not rolling their own, www.switfype.com (ycombinator 2012) provide a pretty powerful site (and mobile app, etc) search solution, which includes these kinds of analytics and more (disclaimer: the founders were my roommates :-)).

I use google to search the site Quora and find that it works much better than the search that they&#x27;ve built for the site.
