Sitefinity offers an advanced search service that allows you to quickly and easily find information managed by the CMS. The search indexes both modules and static content and allows you to define which parts of the site are being searched and how the search results are displayed.
Using the Sitefinity search content authors can instantly find where certain keywords are used on the website and quickly and efficiently update content. Additionally, those users who have permissions to edit the page layout can visually add the search control onto the page without any programming knowledge. The Search Box and Search Results controls (as all other Sitefinity custom controls) can be added with simple grag-and-drop.
With the Sitefinity RSS service you can easily feed your website content as RSS data. Sitefinity comes with two RSS providers that allow you to syndicate your Sitefinity blogs and news, respectively. To syndicate blog or news content, your CMS users just need to configure visually the RSS content provider and then drag-and-drop the control from the Sitefinity ‘Toolbox’ onto the page. No programming knowledge is required.
Friendly URLs – Sitefinity lets you define your own aliases to appear in the address bar. This not only makes it easy for end-user to remember a certain URL, but also results in much better search-engine indexing.
Metadata Keywords – With Sitefinity, you can tag your content with metadata and use metadata keywords to describe website content and make it easy to retrieve and reuse. Keywords are also used by browsers or search engines to categorize and rank a page for improved search engine optimization.
Another valuable feature is the ability to insert external pages to your Sitefinity navigation. You can naturally add existing pages created in other applications and insert them into your website navigation. This functionality can be used through the graphical user interface.
Sitefinity automatically creates a Sitemap of your website and keeps you up to date with any navigational changes. An automated sitemap also ensures that search engines can find and index all your pages without additional effort.
Sitefinity integrates advanced page caching capabilities that are fundamental for removing performance bottlenecks. Caching is an effective manner of improving web pages speed delivery and reducing access time. This guarantees user satisfaction and responsiveness in high-load environments.
Sitefinity integrates multilingual support for language content, so you can effortlessly create and maintain content in multiple languages. The character set used for displaying the content can be defined on both page and content level.
