tl:dr;

We’re excited to share updates we’re making to Smart Search! Customer feedback has identified opportunities for improvement for both the tool’s navigation, and how it yields search results. In an effort to ensure we’re providing the most valuable course search tool possible, we’d like to extend an opportunity to review these designs and provide feedback. 

What's New with the Smart Search UI?

We have designed a refreshed UI for Smart Search. Our goal is to make finding what you need faster and more intuitive than ever before. The new design focuses on:

  • Clearer Results Display: We've streamlined how search results are presented, making it easier to scan and identify the most relevant information.
  • Improved Navigation: The new UI features enhanced navigation elements, allowing you to move through search results and related content with greater ease.
  • Modern Look and Feel: We've updated the visual design to provide a more modern and user-friendly experience.

Why Your Feedback Matters

We believe that the best products are built in collaboration with our users. Your feedback is crucial in helping us refine the Smart Search UI and ensure it meets your needs. 

How to Provide Feedback

We would love for you to try out the new Smart Search UI and share your thoughts. We’re collecting feedback from our users with a Maze survey. The Maze survey has an option for recording your screen and audio that can be very helpful for us in reviewing your feedback, but is not required for participation.

Looking Ahead

We're committed to continuously improving Smart Search and providing you with the best possible experience. Your feedback will play a vital role in shaping the future of this feature. Thank you for being a part of our journey and helping us build a better Canvas.

We look forward to hearing from you!
