New features

Assalamu Alaikum!

You’re probably already used to it, but I’d like to talk about some of the latest features on ImHalal. In the past few weeks we’ve worked really hard to implement a reliabel system of Spell Check (of your queries) and Suggestions.

Spell check is intented to help you when you make a Typo while searching. Just beneath the search bar, above the results, the suggested correction appears. Click on it and you’ll be directed to a search page looking for that term.

In the right sidebar we’ve added a few related search suggestions for your search query. This is particularly useful way to navigate to just the website you were looking for. For instance, you’re looking for that one famous wedding planner, but can’t find his website. Since you’ve forgotten his name, you start by searching for ‘marriage’. Our suggestions on the right side help you out from there. Marriage will eventually take you to ‘marriage planner’ and there you’ll find what you were looking for!

One feature which is absent on ImHalal, but heavily requested is SAYT (Suggest As You Type). The reason we haven’t implemented that yet is that we’re still finetuning the technology, to make sure no explicit queries are suggested. Just hang in there, we’ll feature that soon enough!

Happy searching,

Fabian
