We've had search on the site for about 6 months now, and our activity logs show that it's used quite a bit.

However, we'd be the first to admit that our site search feature left a lot to be desired, and typically a Google site search would give far better results than our own search.

Well we've rolled out a batch of changes today to address this, with our new search feature that's available on every page. You can see it up there, to the top right of your screen.

The new search provides snippets of each result, and allows you to filter by result types.

This is another important step in our transformation from a Victoria-only site to an Australia-wide site. Some of the changes for the search functionality have include internal additions to support multiple states. We hope to go Australia wide in the next few months, so stay tuned...
