How to Build a Bespoke Website Search Engine that Delivers Results

Often when a website’s core role is to deliver large amounts of specialist content the best solution is a bespoke website search engine. This allows specific filters and options to be used rather than just the usual keyword search. This was the case for a website Hookson recently created for the Centre for Youth and Criminal Justice.

After gathering feedback from a stakeholder survey CYCJ commissioned Hookson to translate that feedback into a user-friendly and engaging resource website.

The key requirement was to build an accessible website for busy practitioners who would need to access facts and resources with ease and speed. To do this we designed and built a powerful search and filtering engine for events, news and resources. This bespoke facility now allows users to quickly search for items and then filter results further if required.
