Following the updates to our website last month one area that still needed improving was our website search. For a while we've been relying on the built-in search that comes with our main content management software. That's started to prove very limited as we build more and more tools that sit outside of it. With the new website live, there was a chance to improve that situation. We now make use of a Google Search Appliance which gives better results and can search more of our growing website. At the moment there are some duplicates in the results but that should reduce over the next week or two. Try it out by using the search box on the right-hand side of our main menu.
As an added bonus, if you search for a term that matches any of our public observations (e.g. a search for supernovae), a few of those images get included on the results page too.
