Updates (Mar., Apr. 2013)
In the last two months, Team POPONG did the followings.
Politician Dictionary
-
Layout renewal (in progress): Attempted to change from a 2-column to 3-column layout, but decided to go back to 2 columns
- Autocomplete(typeahead) in search box
- Add feature to save favorite politicians to cart
- Display more personal information of politicians
- district, job, education, experience, address
- Separate timeline and trends into new tabs
- Test GIN(Generalized Inverted Index) index + trigram module: sequential search was faster because the dataset is too small
- Search by political party affiliation
- Improve transliteration using Unidecode
