Personalized Content and Easy Content Discovery via Search

People crave clarity and simplicity especially when searching for content on a website. When AMIA gave us the challenge of making the research on their site easily searchable, we focused on creating tags and taxonomies that would connect content with common searches. The result was a solution that served users content that most closely matched their requests. Not only were we able to use taxonomies, but we also added in robust search capabilities that use context clues and the copy within articles themselves to find meaningful results. And if that wasn’t enough, we also built a solution that used a member’s voluntary account information to preemptively offer them content that would be most meaningful to their daily work.
