Smart Search Component

To review and configure Smart Search Component settings to meet your needs, select Smart Search under Components in the sidebar of your website's Dashboard.

Then select Index.

Select the Options button at the top right of the Smart Search screen in your website's Dashboard to review and maybe change settings.

The images below illustrate the Smart Search Options settings in a default WYNCHCO Website Design.

Smart Search Tab

The Word Match option offers a choice of three settings:

1. Match exactly,
2. Match words beginning with the search term, or
3. Match words containing the search term anywhere.

'Match exactly' is the default Word Match option setting in a default WYNCHCO Website Design.

To build an index of website pages, select the Index button at the top left of the Smart Search Index screen.

Note: Smart Search Filters in your website's Front End will not work correctly until you perform this task.

When you click the Index button you will see the following pop-up window confirming that your website content is being indexed.

We are constantly updating our website's content.

This often involves creating new articles and menu links.

And so we periodically re-build the Smart Search Index.

Under the Index tab there is a setting called Search for Phrases.

The Search for Phrases setting is enabled by default in a WYNCHCO Website Design.

If you prefer you can change the setting - see image below.

Note the warning at the top of the Index tab if and when you change the Search for Phrases setting.

You will need to re-build the Smart Search Index.
