There are various providers to implement Search with Sitecore Instance. Today's article will help to understand about Searchstax with Sitecore.
Currently we have options as provider to implement search like - Lucene, solr, azure. Also tools that makes search Implementation easy, fast and with analytics features - Coveo & Searchstax.
But with my experience on Searchstax there are below points as feature which makes it unique and reason to use Searchstax.
1. Readymade Search (ready to use with any Sitecore project in next 10 mins) with Multi-site options - with no code change required.
2. Easy interface to manage analytics and only Integration activity from Sitecore CMS.
