Endorsia releases New Improved Search functionality!

Free Text Search!
Endorsia has upgraded the foundation on which the Endorsia Web Application (EWA) is built, to provide you with a faster and easier way to find the products you're looking for! Now, even Users not familiar with Part Numbers will be able to use Endorsia more efficiently.

The new search option provides a "google-like" way of searching your supplier catalogue. You can search on part number or text. The traditional part number searches are still available to select from the search drop-down menu.

New Guided Navigation!

Guided navigation helps the user narrow down a search result by applying filters. A filter is applied by clicking one of the links or by selecting a value in any of the dropdown lists. Each of the filters also shows the number of products that will be listed after the filter is applied.

The search box at the top of the Guided Navigation works as a Free Text Search filter within the search result list.

Guided Navigation can be enabled or disabled. To disable it simply click the arrow in the upper right corner. When Guided Navigation is disabled a button will appear on the top left side of the main window that allows you to unhide the Guided Navigation toolbar.

New Filter Bar

When you do a search or apply a filter it will show up in the Filter bar. This feature has replaced the breadcrumb. To remove filters simply click the (X) within a filter. That will delete the filter you've selected to delete and the one(s) selected after and update the search result list.

Catalog browsing with support for thumbnail pictures

The browse catalog view has been changed to be able to support thumbnail images on product categories. When you arrive at the Browse Catalog page you will see all categories that are on the top level. When you choose a category the guided navigation toolbar will appear and the selected category will be added to the Filter bar. If you click on a category or an attribute the search result list will be updated.
