And what do they say?
Perception of search on the website“With respect, the search engine is useless and needs to be built again scratch. One cannot limit the search parameters in
any meaningful way”
“search function was not helpful. no index, and word search did not produce anything useful”
“the general search facility did not seem to return results listed according to any format - alphabetical, chronological, logical...just a
shapeless bundle of information units”
Implications for overall perception of the site“I could not fine [sic] the specch [sic] i was looking. The advanced search was no help at all. The website is totally
useless.”
