Hey, everyone! I’m excited to announce we’ve added a powerful search engine to Webflow. Since the launch of our Visual CMS, we wanted to give non-developers the ability to easily integrate powerful search technology for their content heavy websites. And since this is seamlessly integrated into the Webflow platform, websites can benefit in several areas: 1. Front-end design. You’ll have complete design control over the search input and results page — all visually in the Webflow Designer. 2.Indexing controls. We’re giving you full control over your search index. This means you can exclude pages, CMS Collections, and even individual elements from your search engine. 3.Relevance. Most platforms like Wordpress and Drupal offer relatively basic search when it comes word stemming, and stopword recognition since they are based on SQL search. We wanted to take it a step further buy building it on top of Elasticsearch from the start to support world class relevance and accuracy. 4.Cost. It’s included with any Webflow CMS or Business hosting plan. We’re hoping site search (and other exciting things we have in the pipeline), will make it much easier for everyone to create powerful web experiences without code. Let us know what you think!

Hey look, there's Webflow launching another amazing product. Classic Webflow:)

Webflow continues to amaze. :) My company's site, https://www.gethue.co/, is built on Webflow, and I don't know what we would do without it. Simply incredible.

The ability to add elastic search so easily to your site is amazing. Elastic search is great and you just drop in an element, style it, then style your results page and your ready to go.

The really powerful part comes in the UI giving you the ability to easily exclude certain content, pages, and collections from search just by ticking the box.

If you're looking to build a killer site and want a killer search option. This is for you!!!

Pros:

Easy site search without a lot of setup and time consuming tasks.

Cons:

Nope. They don't exist.

I've used this since the Beta, it's perfect. You can use GA to analyse search queries too.

Pros:

So easy to set up, auto indexes

Cons:

Auto index could be daily...

Webflow is in a league of its own when it comes to site builders. Amazing product.

Pros:

It's awesome!

Cons:

Nothing!

This is a must have feature for any website builder, and now it's on the best website design tool out there!

Pros:

You don't have to use any third-party tools, it works directly in Webflow

Cons:

There are no cons

Mind blown.

Webflow is light-years ahead of the industry.

I have used webflow to build a web development and marketing company. I would simply not recommend any other platform to my network. This makes wordpress seem like AOL.

Pros:

Easily build an entire CMS website from scratch or template with customized search ability.

Cons:

Lack of third party developers - though this just means all features on the platform are supported by the developers.

Oh man, this is just sensational.... Webflow goes from strength to strength and does so on the reg!

Pros:

Removes cost, time and effort of integrating Third Party search!

Cons:

Not a whole lot at this stage!

Use it, try it and love it. Webflow is the way to go.

Pros:

Highly design customizable and works as advertized

Cons:

Not that I have discovered any

Hey, I'm Sam, and I'm part of the Swiftype team over at Elastic (the company behind Elasticsearch). Great to hear about other companies building site search solutions with Elasticsearch! While I'm biased, I think most people would agree that Elasticsearch is a great technology for building relevant and highly scalable hosted search. If anyone is interested in learning more about building search solutions with Elasticsearch, I recommend checking out this webinar: https://www.elastic.co/webinars/...

I have been using Webflow for a while, and is by far the best WYSIWYG website creator. Great job! Question: when autocomplete?

@bryantchou Great to finally have search build in. Will you be able to make enable users to do filtered search? Like AND/OR searches? And will I be able to make a filtered search based on the content from the cms? Like “only search items from a collection that is published after 2017” or “is marked with featured”?

Not only is a great application for web designers but the editor mode for the clients is so easy to use that once I show to them how they will be able to edit their own website they immediately hire me to build their website on Webflow.

Pros:

Is the best product for web design, very easy to use

Cons:

None
