Following from the release of the new JXtended site, the demo site has also been updated and expanded with the latest version of all our commercial products.

The demo site includes complete example installs of three essential extensions for all Joomla Web sites:

  • Comments - visitor and user commenting, content rating and social bookmark links;
  • Finder - advanced and accurate searching for Joomla Web site; and
  • Labels - labels/tags for your content that integrates directly with the administrator article edit page.

Each of these extensions is easy to install and configure in minutes.

For your projects that need a little bit more horsepower, example installs of our content management extensions are also available:

  • Catalog - perfect for directory sites; and
  • Magazine - to suit sites that mimic printed magazine-style, publication based Web sites.

Administrator access is available to give you a feel for how all these extensions can lift what you can offer on your Joomla Web site.

The standard Joomla site search is generally adequate for small sites, but does not scale well as the content of the site increases in volume. JXtended Finder has been produced to solve this problem. A common complaint is that the total number of matches is not made available. This means that for the same phrase, a competitor's site may show more matches than your Joomla site and this could influence their opinion of your credibility (and that's a big deal if you are selling something). Aside from that, most web-savvy users are familiar with how Google has set the standard for search results.

JXtended Finder is the best and most advanced search extension available for Joomla.  It's fast because it indexes your content as you save it.  It's accurate because it knows all the pages that are connected with a word or phrase.  It can even make suggestions if you mistype a word.  Version 1.1.0 of Finder brings new features and improvements that are a must-have for every Joomla web site.
