We’ve just released the latest version of Talis Prism 3 for customers to preview; as well as a small under the hood change to improve “My Account” page rendering times, this version contains a few tweaks to the search system:

• Facets now persist when changing sort order
• Exact searches no longer widen terms to include stemmed versions
• New “series:” index name enabled
• Other small tweaks to improve the relevance of certain searches

Finally, we’ve included a method for customers who are currently using the Admin Console to force through changes immediately; this will allow us to widen availability to all customers with Prism 3.

You can access the preview by putting demo/ directly after the prism.talis.com address, for example http://prism.talis.com/demo/leicestershire/.

If you have any questions on this, or other issues, feel free to email me phil.john@talis.com or your account manager (or comment here, of course).
