Google Offers Google Commerce Search Engine To Online Stores
By Anna Johnson on November 10th, 2009In the lead up to the 2009 Christmas holiday shopping season Google has introduced Google Commerce Search (GCS) as an externally hosted, customizable search engine for online stores.
GCS is a cloud-based search engine that an online store can integrate into their site in order to give customers search results based on the store’s database of products, offers, etc.
According to Google, GCS features: optimal ranking; parametric search and sorting (to let customers refine or sort results by category, price, brand, etc); the ability for retailers to boost the relevance of certain items, highlight specific products during a sale, and cross-sell related products; spell checking, stemming and synonyms; and fast deployment and scale.
