WebAssist Simplifies Expert Database Search Development
WebAssist today announced the release WA Database Search, a next generation tool for creating advanced database search capabilities. WA Database Search lets Macromedia Dreamweaver developers combine multiple search criteria through an easy-to-use wizard interface.
Encinitas, CA (PRWEB) May 19, 2005 -- A new extension for Macromedia
Dreamweaver from WebAssist, WA Database Search, makes it possible for designers to
incorporate sophisticated database searches in their websites. WA Database
Search is an evolutionary product built on a previous product released by
WebAssist, WA QueryBuilder. WA Database Search adds a sophisticated wizard for
implementing multiple search types, an easier-to-use advanced server behavior
mode, and enhanced documentation.
WA Database Search is intended to solve
one of the primary challenges of managing a database-driven site: how do you
help visitors find what they’re looking for? Simple text field searches are
inadequate when Web browsers want to look for products in a specific price range
or released in a certain time frame. The SQL database code needed to combine
multiple search criteria is extremely advanced and often beyond the abilities of
working Web designers. WA Database Search provides the most commonly required
search types, such as date range, price range and advanced text search, in an
easy-to-use wizard interface. The Database Search wizard creates both the
complex SQL code required for the search as well as inserting the necessary form
elements on a separate page.
“Online store developers are going to flip
for WA Database Search,” said Michael Lekse, Director of Worldwide Sales for
WebAssist. “For the first time, any designer who can point and click a mouse can
combine any number of different search types in a single interface – and not
touch a line of code.” Lekse went on to explain that WA Database Search has
special use for both designers and developers within the Dreamweaver community.
“Not only does it extend the capabilities of people who do not traditionally
consider themselves developers, it also gives coders the ability to efficiently
add search capabilities using a re-entrant advanced module to reduce deployment
time and increase consistency.”
WA Database Search includes full
documentation support as well as step-by-step guide to implementing an advanced
search application, WA Database Search Recipes. Thanks to WebAssist’s
partnership with Virtual Training Company, Inc. (VTC), this recipe is also
available as a simulation on the WebAssist site. The simulation acts as a test
drive and allows users to get a sense of how the product works prior to
purchasing it.
WA Database Search is available directly from WebAssist
for $149.99. Owners of WA QueryBuilder, WA eCommerce Suite or WA Dynamic Site
101 can upgrade to WA Database Search for $49.99. For volume sales or more
