CNW website updated with cleaner look and better search feature
TORONTO, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ - CNW has updated its website at newswire.ca and cnw.ca with a cleaner look and a better search functionality.
"This update included some exciting changes to the user experience," said David Furst, VP Technology, CNW Group. "But the project was also about improving the underlying technology."
CNW implemented a Web Content Management solution from Open Text Corporation.
"CNW came to us with a challenge," said Scott Bowen, Senior Vice President, Enterprise 2.0 Line of Business at Open Text. "They needed a robust platform to back one of Canada's busiest websites; one that contains numerous dynamic feeds in an always-on environment. This is exactly the kind of complexity our solutions are built to serve."
With so much content now available on the CNW site, a better system of searching within it was a necessary next step in the company's web development plan. Regular users of the site, including Canada's news media and financial community, will notice that CNW's new Advanced Search feature now employs Boolean logic; which uses a specific syntax to filter search terms for more accurate results. The new search feature indexes Photos, Webcasts and Podcasts in addition to News Releases.
