With the start of 2009, we have just released a new and improved version of hakia Search Box. To see how it works, go to Search Box Page. One immediate distinguishing feature of hakia Search Box is its flexibility to search in multiple domains. The second distinguishing feature is its sentence highlighting and semantic precision (especially with complex, long-tail, and unusual queries) as shown below. Note the uninterrupted text snippets (no ellipses) for Pubmed and health searches.

There are several ASP and PHP examples on the page with design options as outlined below:

- Web Plus Search (multiple domains as shown above)
- Site search (pick a site to search only its content)
- Pubmed search (search results from 10 million pubmed articles)
- Health search (search results from credible Web sources on health)

It is free up to 30,000 searches per day (which is the highest number offered to date).

Why do you need a good search box on your site? Well, you don’t want those curious visitors to leave your site and go to a search engine. With a good search box, you will keep them on your Web property.
