A few months ago, the Coveo for Sitecore Product and Marketing teams released an eBook on Site Search Best Practices. The guide is great for high level planning, but when it comes to execution, there are some gaps that need to be filled. In this series of blog posts, I will go over each of the 19 points and explain in details how to implement them properly.

I will be using Coveo for Sitecore 4.0.450 in a Sitecore 8.0 MVC environment. Take note that everything listed below can also be done in Web Forms, but will require a different syntax.

Taming the Coveo Usage Analytics Platform and Coveo Reveal

Written By
Jean Christophe Dumont

One of my responsibilities, as a client executive for our Coveo for Sitecore user-base, is to help our clients optimize the value of their Coveo deployment, by leveraging all the features offered by our platform. I have unfortunately seen too many examples of customers exploiting only the search mechanisms of Coveo, passing by the opportunity to ramp up their experience from Advanced Enterprise Search to actual relevance and insight provider. A few ingredients can act as catalysts for this transition, among others, the Usage Analytics platform and the Coveo Machine Learning solution. This blog post relates the story of a real Coveo for Sitecore Cloud client, which we will conveniently call Client X, starting their journey towards automated, highly relevant content.

Coveo for Sitecore V4 Cloud - The Road to Production

Written By
Simon Langevin

Coveo for Sitecore 4.0 was released this spring and allowed Coveo for Sitecore users to move their index to the cloud, reducing maintenance effort and opening the way for the advanced cloud features, such as Coveo Machine Learning and the query pipelines. Integrating Coveo for Sitecore to your Sitecore solution is now easier than ever. You can download the package directly on the Coveo website and follow the installation wizard in Sitecore. This is great to try the product with a trial organization, but how do you manage a paid license? I received several questions in the past few months about environment setup and license management. In this blog post, I will try to clarify a few things.

Push API Basics with Java Examples

Written By
Chad Johnson
The Coveo Cloud Push API is a must-have feature that allows Coveo Cloud to index on-premise content management systems, including metadata and security permissions. While most content management systems include a built-in search engine, they are often underpowered, incapable of combining content from multiple repositories, and lack advanced features like Coveo's Usage Analytics and Coveo Machine Learning.

Coveo's upcoming 'indexless' offering

Written By
Martin Laporte

The Coveo R&D delegation just came back from Dreamforce in San Francisco and we had a fantastic week. Coveo sends a pretty large contingent every year, which includes part of our teams working directly or indirectly on our Coveo for Salesforce product.

One thing of great importance to me is that we finally got to announce our upcoming freemium offering, which will allow our customers and partners to use Coveo’s advanced UIs, Usage Analytics, and machine learning based ranking at a very low price (even for free, in some cases!). I’ve been working on this project on and off for almost a year now (starting from a late night prototype), and it has since grown into a full product. I can’t wait to see people using this in the field.
