Based on our Mewsers’ feedback, our engineers have been working on a new search experience that’s aimed at making your life a lot easier.
With a new and improved interface, the new search allows you to quickly identify which one of the results is what you are looking for, as well as search for reservations by companion names, partial matches and a more intelligent sorting of results by those who have been or will be at the hotel closest to today.
How does it work?
Just like today - but better! The search bar is slightly larger and the interface has been improved.
The new experience is expected to do everything that exists today plus:
- Search reservations also by companions!
- Get searching quickly from anywhere via a new keyboard shortcut (Alt+F on Windows | Option+F on Mac)
- More information on the results, allowing you to pick the right one
- Guests will show their email, reservations will show guest name and dates... so that the user is much more likely to click on the correct one!
- Save favorites (per user) - a great opportunity to pin your commonly searched terms, top accounts, and Mews pages
- Partial matches, case and accent insensitive
- You can now search by partial matches of first names, surnames, 3rd party booking IDs, emails and phone numbers!
- You can now search for “jose”, and “José Silva” will also show in the results!
- Phone formatting works in every way: +, spaces, ( ) ... it doesn't matter. You type it, we find it!
- You can now search by partial matches of first names, surnames, 3rd party booking IDs, emails and phone numbers!
- In-house guests will appear above others; and the rest will follow a sequence of most-to-least likely to be useful to you based on stay dates, reservation statuses, and guest attributes (status/number of returns)
- Search by travel agencies, contracts, availability blocks...
How can I get started?
- Reply to this thread with the property name (and if it's either in demo, or live) you’d like added to this beta! The new search will be enabled to Beta pilots mid-March.
Please ask any questions or share any feedback you have below. Happy Searching!
