MyCareer, roll back new search
Well, that didn’t last long. Barely one day after rolling out a new search box on the home page, the MyCareer team have rolled it back. I couldn’t reach anybody at MyCareer for comment, but they may be doing A/B testing and this is their Plan B, er…Test B.
UPDATE: It does look like A/B testing: Check out http://mycareer.com.au/?searchtype=a and http://mycareer.com.au/?searchtype=b for the different recipes (thanks “jb” in the comments).
After having a bit more of a chance to test around with the new search refinement on the results page, my new comment on it would be: overwhelming. MyCareer, if you guys are going to roll back any of the search features, consider rolling back the big overwhelming search refinement box and make it a bit less prominent. Either move it to the right, shrink it or remove that gray background and border. Having the refinement that size, on the left of the page, with that design just makes it the centre of attention on the page. It is great functionality for search, but it doesn’t deserve that prominence.
