Search Expander

Search Expander can customize search engine results with knowledge panels, instant answers and widgets to keep users engaged. It's got a responsive design so the data works on desktop, mobile and tablet computers.

Some of the features of Search Expander include:

• Knowledge Panels: A tabbed interface with text, links, images and other media related to the search query and results.
• Instant Answers: A direct answer to a question, accompanied by a knowledge panel at no extra cost.
• Media Thumbnail Bar: A carousel of thumbnail links that's generated in response to user interaction with the knowledge panel.
• Top Bar: Search suggestions based on the current results, letting users refine their search query.

Search Expander is highly customizable, letting you pick the data you want to show and the look for your search engine. The responsive design works on all devices.

Search Expander costs vary depending on how many data requests you make:

• Developer Account: Free, up to 2,000 data requests per day, with control panel, reporting, customer support and the ability to add any number of search engines.
• Commercial Account: $1.50 CPM, good for heavy use, with additional monetization options and a 1-month free trial.
• Charitable Account: $1.00 CPM, for charitable search engines that give more than 50% to charity, with the same Commercial Account features.

Integration is relatively simple, requiring changes to the markup of the search engine results page and the loading of the Search Expander JavaScript library. The library makes the necessary API calls and renders the widgets. You can customize the widgets with styling and set up widget search links based on website routing.

Search Expander also offers detailed documentation and integration, configuration and customization guides to make the process as painless as possible. The service is geared for search engines that want to improve their user experience and keep people coming back.
