SearchStax for Sitecore is a plug-and-play solution, so after installing and configuring the Sitecore package in order to connect the Sitecore instance with the SearchStax search apps, it was a matter of performing a few tasks before having the new search page in place:

• Replace Coveo with SearchStax
• Leveraged SearchStax UI accelerator to speed up the project
• Only 2 new Sitecore renderings were created
• 7 new SearchStax computed fields were added

• The marketing team can now leverage analytics to create better and more relevant customer experiences
• Less than 70 hours of Sitecore development were used to perform the changes in the code base and Sitecore
• Around 10 hours of development were used to configure SearchStax search apps
• Less than 20 hours of front-end development were used to give the search page the needed look and feel
