  • Search Engine with UI — Index your website with one click. Drag-and-drop search input and search results controls from Visual Studio toolbox onto your web form. Open your site in a browser, and start searching immediately.

  • Nothing Else Required — No coding required on server-side or client-side. No database required as the index is serialized in binary files, and partially cached in memory for fast access. No indexing service required as the search engine is completely independent of Microsoft Indexing Service.

  • No Limitations — Search unlimited number of pages and documents in unlimited number of websites. You can search both local (internal) and remote (external) websites.

  • Extensive Document Support — Search static (e.g. HTM, HTML, TXT) pages, dynamic (e.g. ASPX, ASP, PHP, JSP) pages, and other document formats (e.g. PDF, DOC, XLS, PPT, RTF).

  • Auto Complete — Display suggestions in a Google®-like dropdown list as you type the search terms in the search textbox. You can also display the number of pages found for each suggestion.

  • Built-in Spell Checker — Display Google®-like "Did you mean?" suggestions for misspelled words. You can display suggestions either from the indexed words on your website, or from a dictionary like English.

  • Hit Highlighting - In addition to highlighting search terms in search results list, you can also highlight them in the actual pages listed in the search results. Supports .NET 2.0+.

  • Stemming - When you search for a word, you can expand your search results by using related words based on stemming. It will search for the words expanded from the search term as well as the words expanded from its stem. For example, if you search for "thicken", it will also search for "thickened" that is expanded from "thicken". It will also find "thick" as the stem of "thicken", and look for "thick" and other words expanded from "thick". Supports .NET 2.0+.

  • Synonyms - When you search for a word, you can expand your search results by using related words based on synonyms. For example, if you search for "cook", it will also search for "bake", "heat", "fry", and so on. Supports .NET 2.0+.

  • Negative Search Terms - You can exclude pages that have some unwanted words from search results by adding a minus sign prefix to those words. For example, if you search for "apple -book", it will display pages that have "apple", but don't have "book" in them. Supports .NET 2.0+.

     Our days are often a mixed bag of success and frustration. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I discovered your UltimateSearch component for ASP.NET. I simply had to drag two server-side controls to the page – and that’s all!
