A combined search form
June 14, 2013
If you've visited our search form today, you might have noticed that it's different. There are fewer tabs to click on. We used to separate the search functionality into different forms. If you wanted to search by a specialty, you would use the default text box. If you wanted to search by name, you had to first click the search-by-name tab to reveal the appropriate form. If you wanted to search for hospitals in a certain area, there was yet another form to use. Sometimes, when I want to quickly look up a doctor's profile, I would use the wrong form. At that point, we knew that we had to change the user interface to make searching easier.
Today, we released our new search form that combines all of the old forms into one. That means, you can use the default search box and type in a name, a specialty, or "hospitals" to see results. Try it out and let us know what you think.
