Trip Database Blog

More stats to celebrate the new blog! The top search terms used in TRIP are:

1. asthma
2. diabetes
3. hypertension
4. cancer
5. osteoporosis
6. otitis media
7. stroke

These terms are so broad and return lots of results – arguably too many to sift through. It makes the decision to add a prominent ‘refine search’ box appear sensible.

Mis-spelling. One of the new features on the TRIP Database was not a mis-spelling feature (we’ve had one for years) but a counter to accurately measure how often people use it. So we feel it’s a pretty good proxy for number of searches mis-spelt. For the first 3 weeks of February nearly 5% of all searches were mis-spelt.
