Constant Improvement. Search for Shows and Authors
Just like any other search engine, TasteKid needs a lot of effort and dedication to keep the recommendations (search results) up to date and improving.
While we haven’t wrote on this blog in a while, rest assured we are constantly working on what we think counts most for our users: the quality of TasteKid’s recommendations.
The latest changes we have deployed include, besides important steps towards overall improvement of our recommendations, some new features that we hope you will find useful:
1. Users are now able to search for shows, and get recommendations for other shows they might enjoy: http://www.tastekid.com/ask?f=1&q=Lost%2C+Prison+Break
2. TasteKid now officially supports searching for both books and authors
3. Some issues regarding titles that contain commas have been resolved. The comma is usually used by users to separate multiple search terms, so when someone was searching for, let’s say, “Girl, Interrupted”, the system might have interpreted that as two different items, “Girl” and “Interrupted”: http://www.tastekid.com/ask?f=1&q=Girl%2C+Interrupted%2C+Guns%2C+Germs%2C+And+Steel
We have also deployed significant under-the-hood changes that are adding consistency and relevancy to our recommendations.
Stay tuned, and keep exploring your taste!
