Boise State uses Cludo for our on-site search platform. Cludo provides several tools that we can use to optimize search for our web visitors, including the ability to rank certain pages based on search terms, boost (or lighten) the “search weight” of pages per specific criteria, and offer banners to help direct visitors to content that is not on our boisestate.edu domain (e.g., broncosports.com or broncoshop.com).
To make search even better, we’ve created a feedback form you can use whenever search results don’t match what you expect.
By sharing what you searched for, what you expected to find, and what you actually saw, we can dig deeper, determine why the results differed from what you expected, and optimize future searches.

Your feedback will fine-tune search and ensure visitors can quickly find what they need:
