I was amazed at how quickly our developer linked SiteSearch 360 to our site. We have nearly 10,000 pages and he indexed them and had them searchable overnight. This was a very quick resolution to what was an urgent problem on our site.
Pros
Site Search 360 was incredibly easy to implement. Also, it's cheap! We were using a different search function that kept breaking. SiteSearch 360 has been a reliable alternative. Very happy with it.
Cons
I haven't found any negatives yet. Happy with the price. Happy with the interface. Happy with how well it blends with our website.

Search available starting at relatively low cost for organizations on a budget, though you get what you pay for at that very low cost, and nothing more.
Pros
Look and feel is very customizable, can integrate the search modules with the site's branding. Easy to set up. Option for search results in modal window or separate window. Integration quality and ease is much higher than the now-defunct Google Site Search was. Search available starting at relatively low cost for organizations on a budget.
Cons
Ranking of pages seemed all over the map, with less relevant pages often coming up first in results. Seems to be driven by keywords only, not actual relevance. No ability to manually weight certain pages as more likely to appear in search results and rank others as less likely to appear. Could not tell difference between lowest-tier paid plan and the free plan.

Pros
- Great flexibility
- Many useful features: content grouping, query mapping, snippet and SERP customization, xpath support
- Good support and documentation
- Multilanguage
- easy to implement
- Affordable compared to other site search tool
- content grouping
Cons
You need some technical skills to customize the look&feel and use the xpath feature
a pricing plan for big multilanguage websites would be appreciated (currently if you have a 4 language website you need to subscribe to 4 different plans)

Better searches for our users, compared with Google Site Search. And the possibility to easily create beautiful ads or promoted results, which can be edited in pure HTML.
Pros
Its very cheap compared to the other alternatives out there, and yet it offers the flexibility to tweak searches with xpaths and HTML. There are almost no limits to Your possibilities for creating relevant and sales generating result pages.
The guys who runs the customer service listens to Your input and are extremely quick to implement the changes.
Cons
The implementation could be made easier for smaller companies with an online website builder and without the nessecary knowhow to implement the javascript.

Integrating SS360 on my website (nolongerset.com) gives it an air of professionalism that sets it apart from sites without search or that depend on Google and the accompanying ads. I also like the analytics aspect of SS360 and being able to see what my website visitors are searching for.
Pros
Site Search 360 made it extremely easy to get started. It starts you out with a customized Getting Started checklist. After only five minutes, SS360 had indexed my site and I was able to run sample searches. After only ten more minutes, I had integrated the search on my site. I could not imagine how they could have made the setup process any easier.
Cons
It's not free. There are some powerful open-source site search options available and, of course, Google's site search. But, if you value your own time at all, you'll likely find that the ease of setup alone is worth the cost of the service.

Pros
Fairly easy to set up, good price, excellent, responsive support - would have been frustrating if we would have had to wait a couple days for support emails. Hope this doesn't go away.
Cons
- It should be able to detect duplicate pages automatically, but it doesn't if there is a "/" on end, which is really frustrating and causes a ton of rework.
- Really old school that there is no way to rename the profile domain...most people would start with a dev url, not the production, and no way to change it afterwards...really confusing when managing more than one account.
- Fairly clumsy way of handling more than one account...in general - during the purchase experience. Very confusing.

Pros
The customer support (Olesya Elfimova) was been extremely responsive and helpful. We had difficulty fully purging Google from our code and gave Site Search the ability to go in and fix the code as needed. When the mobile results were not working, it was an immediate response in resolving the issue.
Many things can be fine-tuned in Site Search's platform. We love how it crawls our website for errors in addition to many other features.
We highly recommend this for anyone wanting to move away from Google Search for an affordable price.
Cons
There are a LOT of features to learn, which is understandable. It will take some time to fully digest and understand all of these. Which is a pro and a con in and of itself.

Pros
There seems to be a lot of customization options - we like options to add meta noindex, specific search word combination with redirect, results display inline or in popup window.
Cons
The 2nd tier pricing is a bit steep for us. Our visitors don't use the search that often so it is hard to justify month expense.

Pros
It is easy to use from the get go, and simple to integrate across multiple web presences
We were able to deploy the search bar in multiple environments (WordPress HubSpot)
The price is very reasonable compared to other options

Pros
Relatively easy to implement and set-up with robust features given the low entry point. It also allows us to search across multiple domains.
Cons
Would like the admin to be a little more intuitive for less technical users and also improve styling.

Pros
There's a lot to like: a comprehensive feature set, solid APIs, helpful customer support, good documentation and easy implementation.
Cons
Although worth the expense, some of the features we need require a higher-tiered plan. There is a custom-feature plan, however, which gave us the best value for our money.
Thank you Mark. It's great to have you as a long term customer and see how happy you are with the search! Really appreciate it.

Custom search on our website allows our customers to look for products within our own site. A paid feature we had with Google but it has been discontinued. SiteSearch360 made it possible to have it again without external ads. Price, functionality, ease of use. Software crawls the entire site & stores website links making it very fast to get results for the queries. Integrates very well within the website, does not slow the server & the results are always right.
Pros
Ease of use; the pop up results window will keep you on the same page which is good for customers looking for certain products.

Pros
Easy set up, easy to use admin. Feature set is actually very nice compared to the cost. Support was very good when I needed them.
Cons
WP plugin gave me some stability issues + loads all js/css on all pages even when not used. Ended up going with a hand coded js implementation (which is actually pretty easy to do).
Thank you very much for the kind feedback Olivier! Very much appreciated!

Get's you up and running very quickly.
Pros
It has some fairly advanced features baked in like xsl selectors for content and synonym support. The built in UX will get you pretty far.
Cons
Becomes very expensive for lots of content. It crawls but once a week, more often would be nice.

We have been very happy with the SiteSearch360 product - cost effective and has everything you need. David has also been great in providing flexible support and advice to us during the integration process, and has made sure any issues we had were resolved quickly - highly recommended!

Pros
Our website used Google Site Search and when we were notified that GSS was shutting down I needed to find a replacement. After trying several options, SiteSearch 360 was THE most helpful in getting us up and running, and the cost couldn't be beat. It was a fairly seamless transition from GSS to SS360.
