To seek a chance to find...17.07.2011

Finding the items you want on the website you're visiting should be straightforward, but sometimes the information architect / UX lead may need a helping hand. We're often told that it's the "simple things" that make the difference. That kiss on the cheek in the morning, the barman who knows your order before you open your lips or the CMS that grows in little ways to help your end users out (! ... you can slag us for that prose later!).

More than just Search

Backpage 3.01 introduces a quick, unified, search system. This addition deepens the existing 'A-Z' and 'Sitemap' modules, while augmenting the default 'Search' module with a fast predictive search ability. The Backpage UI also benefits from this addition, with authors being able to search for posts in real time. This lets you find information faster, make decisions quicker and edit with much less effort, all the while enabling your users to instantly search your site for the information they need.

Unified search is a free update to existing BP3.0 users. It does not come in pink...
