How We’ve Been Improving Site Search On Gov.uk | Government Digital Service
Improving site search on GOV.UK
Based on our user testing, we’ve recently introduced some improvements to search results:
- changing the approach to tabbed search results (one of the biggest complaints with the previous version) to combine results more appropriately, helping people - - find what they’re looking for more easily showing better metadata in search results, giving users more confidence in finding the right result
- providing top 3 results above the tabs to help users find the most relevant content from across GOV.UK more easily
- providing deep links directly within search results allows users to go straight to the right content without an additional click
