MTLookup v2 Improvements: Query Feedback

09/22/2005

Some days ago, a new version of MTLookup was released. Please read Second version of MTLookup released for the announcement. I will describe the new features in several posts, which will be published here in the Movable Type Weblog.

Today, I want to tell you about query feedback.

Update: The feedback function has already proved to be a good medium for commenting a result list. A user told that certain phrases containing special characters did not give the expected results. This was corrected by me. For example, you can now successfully search for...

Thank's a lot for the feedback. And don't stop sending it.

Query Feedback

After the second version of MTLookup had been released, a user suggested that a feedback function would be a good feature. And indeed, this is a very good way for improving the quality of the result list.

After a query has been executed, a new pushbutton »Feedback« is shown. When clicked, a new window is opened.

Your feedback will be saved together with a reference to the query that has just been executed. So you do not have to describe the query that you you want to comment.

Some things that you might mention are...

  • Did the query return a good result list so that you found the correct article?
  • Did you miss some article, which you know about?
  • How was the ranking? Were important articles listed first?

There is no need to enter a name of an email address. However, if you want to receive an answer to your feedback, please do not forget to add your email address.

I really appreciated, if you use the feedback function. Tell me positive or negative things about the result. Any comment will be used for improving its quality. Thank you.
