Most out-of-the-box site search functions return results based on how many times a certain keyword or key phrase is mentioned within a page on your website. For example, the more times a keyword appears in the copy, the more relevant site search believes that page to be, and so this page will appear at the top of the search results.
But this doesn't mean it's the most relevant page for the visitor.
Effective site search improves the user experience and guides your visitors to where they want to go.
