KeyMatch vs Featured Results

Google Search Appliance KeyMatch vs SearchBlox Featured Results

In Google Search Appliance (GSA), a KeyMatch associates a specific term with a particular result, to direct users to a result that is especially relevant but that might not appear at the top of the results page. In SearchBlox, Featured Ads are similar to this KeyMatch functionality, where we can make certain search result links appear on top so that users view them first. Please note that Featured Results can only be created for web links (HTTP/HTTPS).
