Advanced Search and Querying: Find the Right Information!
Web sites tend to grow. Web projects have evolved from simple brochureware sites consisting of a few dozen pages into more complex public or internal-facing knowledge bases unifying hundreds of thousands of heterogeneous content items. Multiply the whole by the growing amount of user generated content (UGC) and you get an idea of the situation. The issue is no longer to provide access to the information: it is to let end users find it quickly and efficiently.
Jahia comes with a powerful search and querying API that lets you build sophisticated and advanced search forms or generate complex queries on any content item. Thanks to the United Content Hub Jahia can also search for information across your various interconnected content silos.
Search, as compared to ease of editing or the power of the presentation framework, is often a key neglected feature in WCM systems. However, the most common complaint of end users today is that they cannot find the information they are looking for quickly: Modern organizations need a Content Platform that can meet the most advanced search needs.
