Integrated Search utilizes Planet Discover’s five core technologies to form a modular system that is flexible yet powerful enough to deliver robust results from all your content sources.

Diagrams below illustrate which core technology accesses each content type, and how that content is then processed, stored, and/or made accessible through our Integrated Search platform.

Five core technologies compile content from multiple sources and deliver robust results to users as an integrated result set.

Indexing

Indexing technology crawls your site and the Internet to gather content relevant to your local region. Website content is indexed and added to your hosted Search Database

News, display ads, classified ads, vertical content, business directory, and local website content are indexed and stored in the search database component of our platform.

Structured Indexing

Structured indexing crawls selected websites to collect a specific type of content, such as cars, homes, or jobs. This data is compiled in a product-specific database with a common data structure allowing for more complex search and refinement of results.

Product data from display ads, classified ads, vertical source content and eCommerce ads are compiled in a product specific Structured Database within our platform.

Data Feeds

Many publishers use their own content systems that rely on live data feeds to populate homes, jobs, or other classified sections. Our technology accesses these data feeds and incorporates that content directly into search results.

Live data feeds of news, display ads, classified ads, verticals, and business directory data can be pulled directly into your Search Database or Structured Database.

Results Plug-In

Our proprietary Results Plug-In technology expands a user’s search beyond your site by performing a parallel search of the same keyword on other sites, such as that of an e-commerce advertiser. Product information from that advertiser’s site is delivered on a real-time basis directly into your result page. Results Plug-In also can be used to deliver results from your paid-access news archives.

News, display ads, classified ads, vertical content, and eCommerce ads are compiled directly from their host databases through our real-time Results Plug-In processor, and made accessible to your user.

Ad System

Integrated Search also provides an ad system that gives publishers and advertisers online access to create, edit, upload, purchase, and track enhanced listings, text ads, or graphic ads. Whether rep-sold or self-service, our ad system enables publishers to strengthen their advertiser relationships while building additional revenue streams.

Enhanced listings, keyword ads, and eCommerce ads are delivered through our Ad System - which offers a rich revenue opportunity.
