BBC search

Just reread Matthew McDonnell’s blogs about BBC search:

• BBC launches Enhanced Search (Jan 2010)
• New BBC Site Search (Dec 2010)

Definitely some sound lessons  here, I think:

• Serve scoped results from the domain user is in first
• Get away from just a list to categories of results
• Easy access to results from other/all domains
• Ensure related content is never hidden

Would be interesting to see click-through data for different parts of the SERP though.
