Many Electronic Commerce websites have vast product catalogues, which require visitors to use an on-site search function to find and consequently purchase the product they desire. This paper illustrates the importance of successful on-site searches, the main Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for on-site searches, and introduces several popular on-site search algorithms and techniques.
