“If can know the change of the price that rent a house of these places, average price is good recently, such oneself should rent a house too won’t blind. Such oneself should rent a house too won’t blind..

Above these are a lot of people had experienced our everybody, had perplexed, expect the business that pass. The difficulty that the person of the same trade of whole industry is resolving an user to wear, satisfy the requirement of the user and trying hard ceaselessly; Our ” life searchs ” to pass what these a few months come to brew, also get on to make improvement brand-new version bring everybody in interface, function, quality today, the hope can be brought to everybody more helps and experience better.

In ” of search of life of new edition ” , we are in hard the following 4 respects rise:

- the use electron map with help better user
- help user is better browse and search photograph union
- simplify interfacial operation
- provide the pertinent information with help decision-making user

1) true ” uses map of the electron on “

When everybody is searching life information, want below a lot of circumstances and map contact with. Normally electronic map can shrink put, mobile, perhaps can input a character to undertake searching, show the search as a result go up in the map — why electronic map can ” sees ” cannot ” uses ” , cannot point to a map to want search where with respect to search where? Then we rolled out ” casing to choose search ” and ” dot to choose the function that searchs ” in ” of ” map view: Know when everybody oneself want to search a map to go up which area when, can choose search ” with ” casing, a circle is drawn on the map, the system can search the area of pitch on automatically; If everybody knows he wants the place name of the area of the search only, but do not be clear that it is on the map where, can choose search ” with ” dot, the system can be in near this place name inside a few kilometers undertake searching. Such, everybody uses map of the electron on ” with respect to can true ” .

We still have a lot of users to search a result to have a special liking to appearing with the form of list all the time, feel so clear to understand, but relevant map information can see at the same time when at the same time they want to seeing search result. So we also increased a small map in ” of ” form view, be in when everybody result of the search that browse when, want mouse glide only which group, the corresponding blue mark that searchs a result to go up in the map is met erubescent, dash forward show come, need not open website of a map to inquire again additionally so. When everybody browses the lower part of the page, small map also can float subsequently come down, accompany the left and right sides. If hope to see more detailed map, click the model of written characters of ” of ” enlarge map below small map, can arrive by switch of ” of ” form view ” of ” map view.

2) Bian Liu is seen, edge search

Everybody is in the process of the search, sometimes likelihood not very clear where wanting search, it is OK to perhaps not be clear about search what place; Although very clear, can knocking a few words less always also is good: ) so we improved a search conditional setting, added list of area place name, such everybody need not input a word even in the process of the search, choose the result that can get wanting through the dot only; The list of area place name that through mass data the analysis reachs can raise the range that shows everybody to be able to be searched, convenient and effective. We also improved those who search a result to demonstrate a form, more sufficient use screen space, yield result of everybody’s can more comfortable the search that browse.

3) simplify not simple

“The life searchs ” a characteristic of this kind of product is a function rich, can handle a project much, subsequently and the problem that come is may more complex use not easily. In the ” of ” form view of old edition, everybody should enter a search requirement setting, sort setting in setting area, examine a result to list area next; The option of the setting is more complex also, some is falling in pulling menu even reintroduce and affirmatory. In new edition we assign search requirement option into different grade, gift of different pattern present means, place in different position, when such everybody are being used can focusing is on the option related current job; We return a search requirement setting, sort and list conformity to be together, everybody can be chosen through the dot handy and smooth undertake installing, flat perhaps browse a search result, pay no attention to these lofty settings — they took up only in new design a very small area in screen, major area is used to better indication search outcome. Such interfacial operations got simplifying, still maintain at the same time and promoted rich and powerful function.

4) about searching a result, what do you still want to understand?

Everybody wants to know a few relevant news via regular meeting when the search, when searching a house for instance, want to see the price take the situation, traffic state all round, these often become the important basis that makes a decision. We introduced ” of ” trend graph in ” of ” form view, information of public transportation station introduced in ” of ” map view (enlarge map can see) . Still can add more and useful pertinent information to help great master in the future.

In ” of search of life of new edition ” , we are whole the group invested a lot of painstaking effort; Releasing this publicly momently, already excited however perturbed, whether can the effort that does not know us make everybody gains the experience with be obtained help, better truly. But no matter how, we will continue to try hard to go down, realize half-baked think of a way, explore new possibility.
