User testing search improvements

Hey,

We've recently been working on improving our site search, and we'd like to try out some of our ideas on a small group of people to get feedback before rolling it out across the site.

We'll be at the Old Shoreditch Station café at 1 Kingsland Rd, London on Monday July 6 (next week) with a laptop and some cash behind the bar for drinks and croissants and suchlike.

If you'd like to come by for a chat and to test out some new features before anyone else, please sign up by replying to this thread or sending me a PM with the time you want to come.

I'll keep this thread updated with the available slots as they fill up.

We'll also be opening the search improvements up to subscribers at a later date so they can have a play too.

Here are the slots for Monday 6 July 2009:

11:30 - alexmuller
12:00 -

1:00 - slushpup + 1
1:30 -

Sadly/annoyingly working on Monday.

Looking forward to seeing the new search soon though! Yay for subscriber benefits... can't wait :)

A friend and I could do it for 1pm. :)

My sleep won't permit me to have so much fun. I'll have to back out of the 1.30, if anyone else wants it.

Sorry. :(
