One area of importance to many of you, who have participated in the new search UI discussions, is you want to have the ability to be very specific in the searches you make when you are looking within a specific data set. I’m going to post a different example in a different category each day this week for discussion. Today’s example will be about US census records.
(Note: If you click on the image, you will see a larger version; if you click on the title, it will send you to the search page. You may need to flip back and forth between old and new, but this should work..)
Once you look at these, if you could let me know pros and cons of both UI’s and be specific about what you like and don’t like in these two cases, it will help me focus in on what may need to be done. The more specific you are, the more helpful it will be.
