Hi all,

Most of the enterprise search engines are now supporting a manual 
suggestion (best bets) feature, so the most frequent queries can be 
handled in standard ways.  I couldn't find it on the web site or in 
the docs.

If SWISH-E doesn't support it now, I'm sure it's reasonably easy to 
do in Perl with the templates.  Essentially, you keep an XML file 
with the query word(s), the url, and any title/description HTML the 
admin wants displayed, then do a quick lookup on that and show 
anything that matches.  They use it on HP.com and so on.  It's a good 
supplement to automatic search logic which is pretty limited in most 
cases.

I want to recommend SWISH-E to a client but they need this feature 
and might be willing to pay for it.

Avi
