Oracle WebCenter Interaction: Improving the user search experience

Posted on 10:41 by Unknown
Recently we enabled adaptive layouts in our 10.3 WCI environment with the goal of redesigning the search results layout.  Out of the box the results screen is overly cluttered and out of date with modern UI's.

What we removed and why:
  • Advanced search - unfriendly tool for users that are trying to find things quickly and easily
  • Save this search - another unfriendly tool where a user would have to know to add the "Saved search" portlet to their My Pages
  • Sort by - a world of options that no user takes advantage of
  • Created date - modified date is good enough
  • KD breadcrumb (on documents) - added clutter
What we added/modified and why:
  • Categories - as a nod to the advanced search features, Facebook/Google/Bing/Yahoo side navigation we chose to add categories for All, Documents, Folders, Collab Items and Web Content
  • Pagination - we chose to modify the UI of the pagination area to be more like Bing and other modern UI's which use mouse over boxes
  • Search result row - by taking the modified date out of the column, moving it below the description and coloring it green, a more recognizable design is achieved
The final look:
