Pagination and Unique Author Results
A quick update from the development team to let you know specifically about two new additions to the site.
First, with so much content being added to the site the time has come to implement pagination. You'll notice the search results display ten per page (and can be changed for your personal preference). The additional pages are available at the bottom of each page, in typical fashion.
The other improvement to the search results involves summary counts.
A typical note at the top of the page will read like this:
"Results for ecommerce (Found 115, Displaying 52 results from unique authors)"
What exactly does that mean?
The first number is simple. It's just the total count for all content found that matches the search term(s). So, in this example there are 115 pieces of content available for the term 'e-commerce.'
But what does "52 results from unique authors" mean?
Well, to help present a concentrated search result we're displaying only the first two content pieces from any given author and then providing a link to access any additional content, if more than two. The reason for this is that in some cases an author will have eight or ten or more pieces of content that are part of a series, and displaying all of them gets to be cumbersome on an initial search result page.
We think this will help users get to helpful content related to their search much more quickly.
These site enhancements are two examples of priorities that were identified by users. So, thanks a bunch for helping us with continuous feedback about the site and please keep the comments and suggestions coming!
