WebSideStory launches latest site search software

Web analytics provider WebSideStory on Monday plans to launch a new version of its site search offering that will provide search results on any organization's Web site that automatically reflect user behavior patterns on the site. WebSideStory Search 4.0's Active Ranking technology lets marketers provide the best results for user searches on their site based on which pages and items are the most popular, which have generated the most transactions, and other statistics.

The software also lets e-commerce companies automate their submissions to shopping search engines without having to manually submit individual items or create custom applications. WebSideStory Search 4.0 also makes it easy for Webmasters to alert Google's Web crawlers when they have Web pages that require more frequent indexing in Google's search engine, the company said.
