Enhanced Search

Just rolled out some enhancements to the search on atlantic.edu. The search results are now pulling several searches into one convenient tabbed page. With Communicator backissues and news release separate from web page results.

Searches include:

• web page on atlantic.edu and venus.atlantic.edu
• college news releases
• CommuniCator issues
• employee listings
• site images

The employee results are marked up using the hcard microformat which is a first for our site.  Other microformats will be adopted throughout the site as well.  Also the image search is another first for atlantic.edu as well.

Since additional searches are made via an AJAX call, the entire page doesn't need to reload.  Resulting in faster, almost immediate searches.

Check out the new improved search on atlantic.edu.  While it's still in beta, if you have any suggestions or comments please share.
