Attributes
Another success for the Finsweet crew. A free solution to adding filtering and search to your Webflow sites.
Jetboost
Analyze your site's page load speed to identify and reduce bottlenecks that are producing a bad user experience.
Search integrations add powerful site search functionality to Webflow sites, transforming navigation for content-heavy sites, e-commerce stores, documentation, and knowledge bases. From Webflow's native search to specialized solutions like Algolia and Jetboost, these tools help visitors find what they need instantly rather than clicking through endless pages.
Effective search dramatically improves user experience—particularly for sites with extensive content, product catalogs, or reference materials. Modern search tools offer features beyond basic keyword matching: instant-as-you-type results, faceted filtering, synonym handling, typo tolerance, search analytics, and personalized ranking. These capabilities transform search from a last resort into a primary navigation method.
For e-commerce, powerful search directly increases conversions by reducing friction in product discovery. For content sites, it keeps visitors engaged rather than bouncing when they can't find specific information. For SaaS documentation, it reduces support burden by making self-service effective. While simple sites may not need dedicated search, content-rich Webflow sites benefit enormously from professional search integration—often representing one of the highest-ROI UX improvements possible.
Native or dedicated search tools (Jetboost, Algolia) provide better UX, faster results, more control, and cleaner design integration. Google Custom Search works but feels external, displays ads (free tier), and lacks customization. Use native solutions for professional sites.
Use descriptive page titles and headings, add comprehensive metadata, structure content with semantic HTML, implement proper keywords in CMS fields, use external search tools with relevance tuning (Algolia), and regularly test search queries your users actually perform.
Yes! Combine Finsweet Attributes' CMS Filter with search input for filtered search experience, use Jetboost's filtering features, or build custom solutions with Wized. Filtering is especially useful for large CMS collections like products, directories, or listings.
Jetboost for simple CMS search without code, Algolia for powerful, scalable search with typo tolerance and instant results, Finsweet Attributes for filtering that feels like search, or Swiftype for enterprise needs. Choose based on content volume and feature requirements.
Yes! Webflow offers basic site search that indexes all published pages. However, it lacks advanced features like filters, faceted search, typo tolerance, or CMS-specific search. For better UX, supplement native search with tools like Jetboost or Algolia.
Use Jetboost (no-code CMS search), Finsweet Attributes (CMS filter/search), Algolia (powerful external search), or build custom search with Webflow's native search functionality. For simple needs, native search works; for advanced features, use third-party tools.
