Who is the Company
The Challenge
The company was using Adobe Experience Manager, an all-inclusive content management platform that combines everything needed to manage a website. The company was dependent on the out of the box AEM site search technology based upon the Apache Lucene project. Unfortunately, this built-in component suffered from several limitations, including:
- Degraded search performance after 10,000 pages
- Increase in the repository size since the core Lucene engine search took a lot of space to index binaries
- Putting more effort into surfacing content from search results than with other contemporary search platforms
In brief, the company wanted:
- A scalable, high-performance search capability: The company had a high content volume explaining how their devices help treat various chronic health conditions. The high volume caused website search performance to steadily decline. They wanted a search solution that would easily scale and maintain high performance.
- A cost-effective alternative to the current system: Their existing search engine used a tremendous amount of storage while creating indexes, skyrocketing cloud storage costs.
- A modern customer search experience: Their customers were demanding better search features. To meet the demands, they needed a platform with modern search features like smart sorting, natural language support, query elevation, intelligent suggestions, etc.
The Solution
Business Impact
- Vastly improved customer search experience increases customer satisfaction: The new system handles advanced features like full-text search, highlighted results, synonym search, similar keyword suggestions, natural language, and multi-language support with ease.
- Fast and accurate search response improves sales: Since customers now receive precise search results rapidly, they are more inclined to pursue a search for additional products.
- Lower cloud costs: Our solution requires fewer cloud resources, reducing a huge amount of cloud usage fee. The old system used quite a bit of space to create its indexes that expanded the repository size. The new system requires less space, reducing storage costs.
