Frequently Asked Questions
How does the search work?
The solution uses sophisticated search and navigation to guide users to the products they want. Users can type in any keyword, catalogue or part number,
etc and the intelligent search will use a cascade of algorithms to first look for exact matches then partial matches if no exact match is found.
The solution also includes the ability to refine search results by key attribute; for example, the weight of A4 paper or the colour of a toner cartridge.
