I am looking for a term better than "Best Bets" to list our keyworded matches in a search results. Currently we are using the heading "selected results" but...
I don't think there's a best term (pun intended). Off the top of my head, I've seen: * recommended results * best results * recommended: ... -- Louis...
Louis has some good options. We spent a lot of time discussing this subject at one point and our collective wisdom settled on Best Bets. All of our users...
I really like ³best bets². It is short and has the right tone. ³Best Results² is a pretty strong promise. If these are best, why are you showing me the...
Great discussion! We've been calling them "Best Bets" for a few years in U.S. government intranet search tools. I suppose the label is on the casual side, and...
We've been using "suggested sites" Although I wonder if some if Best Bests are appropriate - it's somewhat of a gamble as to what the user wants... :) ... ...
Hi all, I joined this group a few weeks ago and up until now I have been 'lurking' so its time to introduce myself! I'm working in a small Intranet team in a ...
Why distinguish the "Best Bet" results at all? Why not just put them at the top of the results list and leave it like that? Do you think that users trying to...
Not sure I'd disagree, but when teaching about best bets in dozens of seminars, I've always encountered at least a few attendees who feel that it's very...
I second Lou's response. I'd be hesitant to blend the best bets with the general results page. People do look for them. I get feedback and proactive...
Another advantage of labeling the Best Bets is that it informs your user community that such a critter exists. This can be useful for both content providers...
Everyone Thanks for your ideas and comments. I'm glad to see there is life in thsi list. It had gone silent for a couple of weeks. We have been boxing out...
Jim, I'm not sure how much this helps, but we use the phrase "Quick Links" instead of Best Bets. It was the default language that came with our Ultraseek...
Marketing didn¹t want to use ³Best Bets², though they couldn¹t explain why. We came up with ³Quick Links² as an alternative name. wunder == Walter...
I would tend to agree. Here's a suggestion. Let your users edit the Best Bets. Kind of a "wisdom of the crowd" approach. We have had (long before our...
Tim, is this by any chance for a public site? It would be great to see it in action. ... -- Louis Rosenfeld :: http://louisrosenfeld.com Rosenfeld Media ::...

An interesting tidbit - on our intranet, we box out the key-worded match results too, exactly as described by Jim below. Yesterday while I was working with an...
Kim, Thanks for the tidbit. I've seen this web blindness too. It's really a bell shaped curve. Some see it right away and others are blind. I call it the...

Jim - I'm particularly interested in your comments about user tagging. It seems that your experience has been largely negative. For some research that I'm...
