There’s good news for businesses looking to launch faceted search applications for their enterprises, e-commerce stores or websites., Kaleidosearch offers an easy-to-deploy, customizable and cost-effective solution built on the “industry leading dtSearch platform.” “With Kaleidosearch, faceted search is no longer expensive and complicated to implement,” explains Contegra Systems.

Faceted search, the ability to dynamically filter search results by attributes, has remained out of reach for many businesses because of design and programming costs. Kaleidosearch allows customers to integrate faceted search with their data sources for plug and play operation — without the need to do any additional programming. Current dtSearch Engine customers can use Kaleidosearch with their existing installations.
