Solutions for searching non-product page content

[heatherwebdev]

I was wondering if anyone has a system in place for searching informational pages on their site by keyword? I'm trying to think of the best ways to go about it. Ideally, I'd like to split the search results page between product and page results.

Addsearch.com is pretty decent for basic search...

I think Google provides a way to put a Search box on your site that will do a Google search restricted to your own domain.

Yes it does and it works nicely.

Yes, but I think its branded with their logo.

True, but the ads can be from your competitors. Services like AddSearch start at 25/mo.

Circling back to this - is there any way to use the native Miva Merchant search to search for content in Pages? Storeowner has dozens upon dozens of valuable content pages that she needs to be searchable. SearchSpring is too expensive for her. I guess I should ask Scot if the content in ScotsBlogger is search via the store search.

You can do a "blended search"

Don't believe that was custom...
