Improvements to Search

Posted by AaronClausen

Hi All,

Today we rolled out a number of improvements to our quick search and taxonomy search tools.

  • Exact match results will now appear at the top of search results. E.g. search for "Emu"
  • Improved handling of special characters in a wide variety of scenarios
    E.g. "blue tongue" will now match results containins "blue tongue", "blue-tongue" and "blue something tongue"
  • A bug where some results would appear twice has been resolved
  • The formatting of search results has been widened and improved so you can see more results more clearly before making a selection
  • Number of results has been increased from 10 to 20

We're keen to know how you find it and if you experience any issues with search accuracy following these changes, please let us know.
