What makes Finder so awesome? It's design gives it features that no other search engine can compete with.

Accurate Results

Finder pre-searches your content so that it's fast and accurate. Search results are scored dynamically based on the context and frequency of search terms. The most relevant content will always be listed at the top of the results.

Suggest Alternative Phrases

If Finder can't find any results, it will look for other words in your content that sound like (based on phonetic English spelling) the user's search query and suggest them as alternative queries. See it in action

Unmatched Performance

Finder can search tens of thousands of content items and return accurate results in a fraction of a second.

Extensible Integration

Finder comes with an array of search plugins for Joomla, JXtended and other third-party extensions such as the ever-popular DOCman.

What People Are Saying

"This is exactly what I needed. This tool allows you to select sections/categories that can be searched and gives weight to the keyword. There are some very nice extra tools in the advanced search feature. Thumbs way up!"

"This one extension transforms Joomla into a very powerful CMS. Joomla's built-in search lacks many features. With JXtended's Finder, we now have a robust, editable search tool."
