Using EasySearchASP.net on your site, now makes it even easier for your site visitors to find what they're looking for.

In the live hints feature, a second column has been added to show the number of pages each keyword is found on.

The feature automatically sorts the most popular searches toward the top of the results. You'll notice in this example that the count doesn't seem to be in order at first glance, decreasing from 10 to 1, and then jumping back up to 3.

This is because the words are sorted first based on how close the search term matches to the beginning of the word. In this example we're searching for the term "hint", and so far we've typed "hin". Since the term "think" includes what we've types so far, but it doesn't begin with "hin" it has a lower sort order.
