Type-Ahead Test is Now Live
We've been in love with the type-ahead suggestion list feature on the Google toolbar for quite a while and have finally figured it was time to try adding it to the search box on MyNewPlace. Little did I realize what a major back end effort it would take to support something that looks so simple.
Last week we released the new search term resolution back end (and it's been great, the number of your search queries we are resolving has increased nicely and we have more tricks in the wings to make it even better) but it wasn't until Friday that we were hooked up to the type-ahead suggestion list.
Now that it is live, some lucky subset of new visitors (about 1 in 4) will experience the new type-ahead feature when entering search terms. We hope folks like it, and if they do, we'll go back and make it even snappier than our current prototype.
Let us know if it has improved your apartment search either by posting a comment or using our feedback form.
