Check list about General - Search Capabilities

  • A search feature appears on every page (exceptions include pop-up forms and the like).
  • Search box is wide to allow for visible search parameters.
  • Advanced Search, if included, is named just that (to scare off novices).
  • Search system performs a spelling check and offers synonym expansion.
  • Site avoids scoped searching. If included it indicates scope at top of both query and results pages, and additionally offers an automatic extended site search immediately with the same parameters.
  • Results do not include a visible scoring system.
  • Eliminates duplicate occurances of the same results (e.g., foo.com/bar vs. foo.com/bar/ vs. foo.com/bar/index.html).
