Additional Search Improvements

Kody — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 09:01:00 GMT

Building on the recently implemented search improvements for our Files section, we've pushed live additional changes tonight that introduces this new functionality on http://search.curse.com as well. You'll notice your search results appear in a tabbed display. Each section of the website with relevant search results will appear on a tab, and clicking between them or sorting will be instantaneous.

Please give us feedback on the new search functionality. We're currently in the process of improving the relevance for certain results, but we definitely want to hear everyone's opinions on it.

New Beta Vanguard Database Search

Kody — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 23:24:00 GMT

We've made massive improvements to the Vanguard database search on Curse. You can check it out yourself if you'd like by visiting the Vanguard database, but here's an example search for everyone to see just how accurate and fast the search is compared to the past, as well as sorting being near-instant now.

It's also implemented on our World of Warcraft database, but it hasn't been fully refined for WoW-specific searches just yet.

This will be coming to item and creature pages as well, not just the general database search. Feedback and suggestions on the changes are welcome, so please visit our Feedback & Suggestions forum if you have ideas for ways to improve the database search. There are a few IE bugs with it that we know of; Zinor will be fixing them before we consider this in a "live" state.

Check it out and let us know what you think!

Search Improvements and Updated Search Plug-in!

Tonight we pushed out two major changes to the search functionality of Curse. The download section now has an incredibly powerful and reliable search back-end, as well as a full suite of Advanced search functionality, including the ability to search for multiple tags.

If you've used Google to find your AddOns here on Curse in the past, then we highly suggest you give this new search functionality a try. Head over to http://downloads.curse.com to check it out firsthand, and please do provide feedback on the changes in our Feedback & Suggestions thread devoted to the Download section.

Additionally, we've updated our Firefox and Internet Explorer search plug-in to include auto-complete and search "suggestions" by typing in a partial word. You can give it a try by visiting http://downloads.curse.com and clicking on the "Install Search Plug-in" link.

We're continually improving Curse to ensure that you have the best experience possible, so if you have any feedback or suggestions regarding these two new changes, don't hesitate to let us know!
