Search and Product Selection Refined!

Now you can refine results by removing stores from your search or product selection! This useful tool helps narrow down availability to the stores that you want!

Check out the right-hand sidebar for the “Refine” option, visible on searches and on the “products” page.

Week 3: Progress Report

Hey! Since our launch on April 20th we’ve been working on different aspects of the site most noteably on our “search”. As most of you must have noticed we decided to build our own rather than adding Google site-search. The primary reason being that Google still hasn’t indexed our entire site and so when stores add/update products and their prices you wouldn’t get it immediately and the search results would not be as accurate as most of you might expect.

So this gives use an interesting opportunity to fine-tune and customize the search to “our” requirements…and get this…it learns! So the more you use it the better the results over time! We know it ain’t perfect but it’s getting better so don’t bother browsing – just search for it and save yourself some time!

In other news we’ve been working on getting more stores…yes we’ve been reading your comments and we feel the same way, more stores the better! So Lohi is working on that with the help of another friend so we should see some more progress in that department soon :D

As we always “encourage” please tell your friends about us and join our facebook group and fan page :D

Thanks again for the encouragement and keep using “the sri lankan tech guide” ;)
