Quintura (www.affiliates.quintura.com), provider of a next-generation site search solution for online content publishers, today announced new features for its publishing affiliates. These customizable options, which include the incorporation of icons and banners into the search cloud and the addition of three new ‘morphology’ dictionaries, offer an enhanced user experience and higher click-through rate for advertisers.
“These new features make Quintura a more engaging partner for web publishers and more dynamic host for brands and advertisers,” said Yakov Sadchikov, founder and CEO of Quintura. “Quintura is taking the visual-based search to the next level by giving publishers and advertisers the freedom to create a unique search experience for users while boosting site performance.”
Quintura’s site search solution, which offers web publishers a patented, site search platform with intuitive, visual search and navigation based on neural networks, has been enhanced with new customizable options including:
- Cloud Images – A new interface enables publishers to embed images and banners (i.e. brand logos and advertisements) in the search cloud. When users mouse over an icon or search term, it expands into a banner, dramatically increasing the click-through rate in tests.
- Icon Blink – To attract users to images within the search cloud, Quintura now offers publishers customizable special effects, including blinking icons, to help boost click-through rates.
- Standalone Search Bar Option – The stand-alone search bar enables publishers to link Quintura Site Search to a separate webpage, so that when search terms are entered, a new window opens, displaying the full-range of search results.
- Color Customization – Additional color options allow publishers to customize all aspects of the site search display, to match their website.
- Language Localization – A semantic search engine, Quintura has added French, Italian and Spanish morphology engines, in addition to the existing English, German, Portuguese, and Russian systems, producing more contextually accurate search results in a variety of languages and locations.

I am trying it out on my blog, which is hosted on Blogger with a custom domain. I’m having difficulty with the full-sized cloud widget that the mini-cloud widget sends its ‘more results’ to. I see you have it working, but for me the code for the full cloud will not display as a post; just a blank post. The code is there, but doesn’t display. I am using http://quintura.com for now, but unfortunately the keywords go into a Web-wide search instead of searching just my site. I have communicated this to Quintura and am awaiting a response. Hopefully, an easy fix is coming. I think it would really be a hit on Blogger if they just make it a little easier to install and configure.
