CDS Electrical website search now supports exact operations

23/5/2016

One of the most convenient features that we implemented on our new look CDS Electrical website is the site search. A universal search box found at the top of each page that drills down through every single web page on this website including any blog posts created around that keyword.

We started this new website back in December 2015 with just a single page and since then have expanded it to the level we see today. A fully fledged website that encompasses all aspects of CDS Electrical; from the services that we offer to things out customers are saying about us, and from blog posts about particular events and electrical related news to our popular about us page.

The only downside to having so much content is that a site search can sometimes bring back hundreds of results. That's why today we are happy to announce support for exact operations. Let us show you what we mean.

I want to find out a little more about 'Structured Cabling'. I go to the search bar and type in 'Structured Cabling'. Here are the results;

A total of 7 results across the entire website. Now let's try it again but with the addition of speech marks around the search criteria. Searching for "Structured Cabling" instead of Structured Cabling limits the search to text that has the same ordering, precedence and formatting as the search criteria. The results from the exact criteria search are shown below;

From seven search results down to just three. This was performed on a search that yielded limited results to begin with for ease of demonstration. This technique of using exact search is very handy for pinpointing exact information. In house, we are already using it to quickly find blog posts from the months gone by. Give it a whirl and let us know in the comments how you get on.

We pride ourselves on being able to adapt an environment to have additional functionality and ease of use without having to compromise on the design and end product.

Solar Photovoltaic
Climate change is a global challenge that we simply cannot afford to ignore. It is a threat to all of us, that has been created by all of us. There is still a lot we can do to minimise the effects and having Solar PV installed and utilising green renewable energy is an easy step to make that also brings a whole host of rewards.

Structured Cabling
Our highly trained electricians install data cabling and networking devices to meet your data requirements. Businesses of all sizes are now requiring structured IT systems in order to manage the day to day running's of a growing business. Our electricians understand this need and can advise the best way forward to keep things running smoothly.

Here at CDS Electrical we install and maintain vehicle charging systems for commercial, domestic and educational premises.

On Sunday 15th May 2016, two teams of four from CDS Electrical took part in the '10K Relay Marathon' event.

The race started off at 10am on Bexhill seafront right by the De La Warr Pavilion. The marathon which was shared across the four participants from each team took them right along Bexhill seafront and back again.

It was a great day; CDS Electrical managed to raise over £800 for charity whilst thoroughly enjoying the run itself. We have already started talking about the next event that we could do in aid of charity.

Both teams did incredibly well on the day. There were 15 teams that took part in the relay event. CDS Chargers came in 5th place with a collective time of 3hrs 44mins and 34secs. Our second team; I'd Rather Be At Ohm came in 7th place with a collective time of 3hrs 54mins and 28secs.
