CEEK Applications
The light vehicle and heavy duty engines kit sites received a large overhauled when tasked to meet the standards of a new parent company.
The former page has several search dialogs. The new site combines these dialogs into one. The search result buttons pictured are driven by CSS to highlight on mouseover. The search feature also includes the ability to filter the data based on a list generated while processing the search results. This allows the user to filter the search results by the number of cylinders, the fuel type, etc. The page setup also allows for searches to be bookmarked for future reference.
The Light Vehicle Search Page has also received a face lift from its predecessor. Both the light and heavy vehicle site now have a similar appearance. The dynamics in the search engine have also been developed to model the same basic pattern. This allows for the ability to search the opposing sight if nothing is found and display to the user to look at the other site. This was implement via after looking over the search logs and noticing a large number of users going to the wrong sight. There is also a large reporting tool for these two sights so we are able to track what is being searched for and how far a user is going into the sight. The search engine itself has received a massive overhaul. Regular expressions are used to parse the search string correcting common errors as well as manipulating the string for more accurate searching. For example, "351 cubic inches" is changed into process_CID_351. This allows for me to insert this as part of a database query in order to narrow the results of a search.
