Any recommendations for a better internal site search bar for magento enterpise

[hfranz]

Looking for recommendations for an internal search bar for magento. I would like to be able to sort the products when searching. I would like to preferably sort by price when a product is searched. And am looking for a better search experience.

Hi,

I have not personally used it, but have read good things about search extensions using Sphinx, check out for example: http://ecommerce.aheadworks.com/magento-extensions/advanced-search.html which is from a magento platinum partner and should be reliable. There are a couple of others around also using the sphinx technology. The default magento search really does leave a bit to be desired in most cases!

Hello,

Maybe a bit late, but maybe for other people who needs a good search technology.
We used the sphinx search technology before but we still needed a better solution, we found: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/blast-lucene-search.html with the Lucene search technology. It works really great with a 'did you mean?' function integrated.
