A new search engine went live on the Observatory’s website last month. The aim is to provide you with better search results — ranked by relevancy — and more detailed controls over refinements to your search results.
Another feature is that the search service provides search results from other regional organisations’ websites; the search isn’t limited to the pages within wmro.org.
Also, the search service is open for use by other organisations. The search functions are exposed as a web service API, which developers can use to query our search index and display the results in their own websites or applications.
