Problem

When web sites and applications include large-scale data, it's important to give users an opportunity to navigate through the content hierarchy (typically through a persistent navigation feature) and to search. Most sites offer users both methods for discovering content. The MIT-BI applications should allow both browse and search options when a hierarchy exists.

Solution

Usability research shows that most users prefer a Google style single text entry field for basic keyword search. In the case of RAFT, advance advanced search is required for users to find specific worksets and cost objects within profit centers and time periods, etc.

We provide both a simple keyword search with the type-ahead feature to reduce the typing burden. Users need only type three characters before the site provides suggestions from which to select.
