Improved Search Engine Functionality

The CADdetails team recently implemented several changes to the site's search configuration that significantly improve the effectiveness of the search engine. The most important changes involve improved search relevancy when querying multiple keywords or phrases, and after working closely with content contributors, having successfully converted from the “old" 1995, 16-division CSI MasterFormat, to the “new" 2004, 50-division MasterFormat.

We invite you to conduct a search and let us know what you think of the improvements so far. Send Feedback Now!
