KAIMBO – Semantic Search for WordPress (Beta stage)
Transinsight is developing the next generation of search technology. Now through our Wordpress plugin KAIMBO, the search boxes capabilities are enhanched to its full potential.
Please watch our short Video Presentation.
KAIMBO is a Plug-In for WordPress and provides semantic search. It goes far beyond keyword search and gives you the freedom to use your own personal background knowledge to improve search experience for the visitors of your site. They than can find what they did not without KAIMBO! Give it a try.
There are 4 editions available. The main limitation in the free version is that it will only index 50 pages (in the beta stage still more). You can compare the editions at the http://kaimbo.com/editions page.
Note: The plugin is still in a beta stage. We tested it thoroughly on several wordpress instances. Nevertheless it might happen to not be fully compatible with your environment. We appreciate your feedback very much, and we are prepared to fix the eventually appearing issues fast. You can check the known issues in the FAQ.
Note: The KAIMBO search results will be displayed only when the indexing of the website is finished. Until that the default wordpress search results are shown. This will take around 3 minutes for 100 pages. The admin user is informed about the progress.
Important note 1: The plugin works only on webpages hosted on a domain name accessible from the internet. Localhost, 127.0.0.1, password protected pages will not work, because the search server can not find these to index them, therefore it can not return search results. Only the online-editing feature will work.
Important note 2: The website must allow access to the crawler "Kaimbo 1.0" in the robots.txt. (or allow crawling generally)
The features summarized:
- Improved Search
- Highlighting: The searched keywords and concepts are highlighted in the results.
- Instant re-crawling: If you change the knowledge base or the content of your web site KAIMBO updates the index automatically. If for example a synonym for a product was given it is instantaneously used for the next searches.
- PDF-Indexing: PDF documents like product catalogs are also semantically indexed and found if searched concepts appear in them. This is possible because KAIMBO searches in it's own semantic index rather than in the Wordpress database.
- Advanced keyword search: KAIMBO uses an elaborate algorithm for keyword based search. If your customers do not know the exact spelling of your products, KAIMBO helps to bridge the gap.
- Semantic Integration
- Semantic search: KAIMBO goes beyond keywords and adds meaning to your search. You can bridge the gap between the vocabulary of your users or customers and your world. Synonyms and related concepts will be found, ensuring that the users will never miss the page, product or info they are looking for.
- Smart Auto-Completion: In the search-box KAIMBO shows you not only the completed search term but also the related terms used for query expansion.
- Concept highlighting: KAIMBO highlights the concepts from the knowledge base so that you can see at a glance what concepts are connected to meanings.
- Knowledge-base editor: for large installations and huge knowledge-bases this tool allows for tailoring the background knowledge.
- Search Statistics
- List of top searches: KAIMBO provides a table where you see the most common searches on your site. An unique feature to tailor your content to your visitors or customers.
- Zero results list: this unique feature shows you the most important searches on your site; the ones that did not lead to any results. There you can find what customers were looking for but your site did not give any results.
- List of last searches: You can see the list of latest searches by date. Using this table you can get a view about how often the readers search, what currently interests them.
- Comfort
- One click installation: Just download and activate the plug-in and all is done. No registration is required! KAIMBO then creates automatically a semantic index over your web site e.g. your blog. The search box now acts intelligently.
- Easy login: Login directly “to your web site”. This unique feature allows to edit KAIMBO's knowledge “in place”. See the movie for more details.
- In place editing: unparalleled speed-up in changing, extending and correcting your site by in place editing.
安装:
- Install it from the plugin repository, or copy it in your wordpress instalation's '/wp-content/plugins/' folder.
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
- You are ready to use the non-semantic features as advanced keyword search, and search in documents.
- Now for the semantic part:
- In the Settings / KAIMBO menu select the users who can edit the Knowledge base of your site.
- Selecting words on your website (select and left click on it, and use the popup menu), you can add concepts and related concepts to your knowlegde base.
- after this, for example if you added "WordPress" as "wp", users searching "wp" will found pages containing the word WordPress
- the more concepts and related concepts you add the easier will the readers find what they are looking for. Important note: The plugin works only on webpages hosted on a domain name accessible from the internet. Localhost, 127.0.0.1, password protected pages will not work, because the search server can not find these to index them, therefore it can not return search results. Only the online-editing feature will work.
- In the Settings / KAIMBO menu you will found statistics about what was searched in your page, when, how often.

常见问题:
Is the plugin working on localhost, or password protected pages ?
The plugin works only on webpages hosted on a domain name accessible from the internet. Localhost, 127.0.0.1, password protected pages will not work, because the search server can not find these to index them, therefore it can not return search results. Only the online-editing feature will work.
Why don't I see how many results were found for a search ?
It looks like your theme is not supporting this by default. You can display the count adding the following in your theme's 'search.php' file (/wp-content/themes/<your-theme>/search.php):
<?php global $wp_query; echo $wp_query->found_posts; ?>
Or already formatted:
<?php echo ti_getResultcount(); ?>
How can I add concepts and related concepts (synonyms) to the knowledge base ?
For example the word KAIMBO is related to "search plugin". In this case, if we add the concept "Kaimbo" with the related concept "search plugin" to the knownedge base, visitors searching for one of these will found also the pages which contain the other concept's words.
- Enable concept editing for the users who will do this.
- Select a word or words with the mouse, then click on the selection.
- In the appearing popup, select add as concept. (With add as synonym you can add it to an already existing concept).
- Now your new concept will be highlighted, it will appear in the search autocompletion, and will be searched together with all its synonyms.
How can I change the colors of the concept and keyword highlighting ?
From the version 1.9.0 the colors can be set in the plugin options. If write access is not working, or you want to define it by the theme, you can do it the following way:
These colors are defined in 3 classes. The only thing you have to do, is to add the colors and styles of your wish to these classes in your theme's CSS.
You can also switch to underlining or anything else what CSS can do.
The background colof of the concepts:
.TermAnnotation { background-color: #EEEEAA; }
Backgrounf of the keywords and concepts in the search result page:
.KeywordHighlight , .TermHighlight { background-color: #EEEEEE; }
The color of the searched words in the search results list:
.KeywordHighlight { color: #73990E; }
How to use the online editor ?
- Enable editing for the users who will be allowed to edit the website.
- Select a word or words with the mouse, then click on the selection.
- In the appearing popup, select "Edit paragraph".
- An Editing toolbar will appear, and the selected paragraph becomes changeable. When it is finished, click on Save. The page will refresh, showing the saved new content.
Known issues
- Plugin prequisites are not met: We included 3 methods to connect to the search service, curl, file_get_contents, and wp_remote_post. You can see the tests for these at the plugin's setting page. If they are enabled but not working, this suggest a firewall settings problem, which the hosting provider may have overlooked. In one case already was fixed by opening the https (443) port by the hosting provider, you can try that too.
- My admin / page layout is modified by the plugin The reported case was solved, but we still may have incompatibilities with certain themes / theme builders. In this case we appreciate if you report us the problem, mentioning the theme name, ideally with saving the page as complete web page, and sending us to kaimbo@transinsight.com. This will be solved also in the near future.
