It’s time to blow the dust off this blog and announce some rather exciting news for Creative Jar. Previously this year, Creative Jar launched Phase 1 of Cranfield School of Management's new website and was received with huge success. Recently, as part of the second phase, we were required to build a powerful search tool for the website much like Google – a scary comparison, but a challenge Creative Jar set out to achieve.
Your average search tool consists of a keyword search which displays a generic list of results relating to your search term. Leaving users to flick through link by link for what they were searching. However, the SOM Search uses your search term and returns results in an array of categories; images, videos, documents, website sections.
Directly from this results landing page, the user can watch videos, play audio files and read snippets of content. Alternatively, the user can select to view your standard results page if they wish to do so.
All of this is powered using Cranfield's custom CMS, giving the client full control over their content and their search... a powerful tool for any website – and very exciting for use techies to build!
Check it out and find out for yourself by visiting the Cranfield website!
