Just a quick announcement to let everyone know that the ‘search’ feature at Deal Linker has been overhauled with some substantial code changes. Some of the new ‘featurettes' included with this release include:
- Robust search code - the core search engine now uses the same basic search algorithms used by mainstream search engines like Yahoo! and Google.
- Faster execution - the old code would sometimes take several seconds to execute a search. This code has been heavily optimized and runs much more quickly.
- Search results now include associated product images as well as rating scores.
- The newest matching deals are displayed first, so you can quickly identify those deals that are likely to still be available.
If you’re looking for something specific, you can bookmark a search result page and monitor it periodically for new deals that match your criteria.
Take a look and let me know what you all think of the new search feature. In addition, I’m looking for general feedback about Deal Linker: What do you like? What can be improved? Please feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts.
