How Uniweb Handles Site Search

Having a search box on your website seems simple enough. But building search that truly works well requires serious infrastructure—indexing content as it changes, handling both static and dynamic content, and ensuring results are fast and relevant. That’s why Uniweb offers site search as a complete, built-in capability.

Seamless Integration With Your Site

When you enable search in Uniweb, the system automatically communicates this to your site’s smart components (from whichever library powers your site). For example, your navigation bar will display a search button or bar—no need to manually add search widgets to each page. This means search becomes naturally available throughout your site without extra configuration.

Comprehensive Indexing

Uniweb’s search infrastructure indexes everything on your site:

  • Static pages—like your homepage, product overviews, or about page

  • Dynamic content—powered by folders, rules, or other sources in your component library

Whenever you add, edit, or remove content, Uniweb updates the index behind the scenes. No republish needed. So your site’s search results stay current automatically, regardless of how frequently you update content.

Context-Rich Results

Uniweb’s search results aren’t just a list of matching text—they include context for where each match was found. For example, users see:

  • Which page or section the result is in

  • A snippet of the matching text

  • Links that take them directly to the relevant content

This makes it easier for your visitors to find exactly what they’re looking for.

Multiple Sites, Multiple Searches

For organizations with a variety of content (e.g., marketing materials, technical documentation, learning resources), Uniweb recommends separate sites—each powered by its own library if desired. This approach keeps content focused, and each site gets its own search infrastructure, delivering results that are relevant to each site’s context.

Built-In Analytics

Uniweb automatically sends search data to both your external analytics platforms (like Google Analytics) and Uniweb’s own analytics tools. This means you can learn:

  • What users are searching for

  • Whether they’re finding content that meets their needs

  • Which searches yield no results—so you can address content gaps

These insights help you refine your content strategy based on real user behavior.

Fast, Scalable Infrastructure

Uniweb handles search separately from your main site rendering. This ensures:

  • Performance remains high, even as you add more content

  • Scaling is easier, because search grows with your site without additional overhead

  • Stability is maintained, since the search service won’t slow down your pages

An Optional, Paid Capability

Site search is available in all Uniweb’s plans except for Basic which means you get:

  • Full site indexing (static and dynamic)

  • Context-aware results

  • Built-in analytics

  • Seamless integration with your site’s components

Without extra services to piece together—search just works.

By bundling all these capabilities, Uniweb ensures you don’t have to piece together different services or worry about maintaining a separate search infrastructure. From the moment you enable it, search adapts to a library’s components, helps visitors find what they need, and gives you valuable insights into user behavior.
