Dear Colleagues, As part of the usability improvements to the web search feature, we are updating the look of the search form: * The form tabs have been converted to dropdowns * The count of any selections within a dropdown is visible beside the dropdown title We have deployed these changes to our Release Candidate environment for testing: https://rc.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/query We plan to deploy these changes to production later next week. Our goal is to simplify the initial search page, and make the dropdowns responsive to what the user is searching for. Please let us know your feedback. Regards Ed Shryane RIPE NCC

Dear colleagues,

In the RIPE NCC's Activity Plan 2021, we planned to make usability improvements to the RIPE database, including the web search feature.

My colleague Rehan Syed Muhammad has now published a RIPE Labs article detailing some upcoming improvements: https://labs.ripe.net/author/rehan_syed_muhammad/four-ideas-for-quicker-quer...

We plan to make incremental changes to the search page in the coming months. We will keep the community informed, and we welcome any feedback.
