[![phoenix.png](https://www.lorcandempsey.net/content/images/wordpress/lorcan/phoenix.png)](https://phoenix.orhost.org/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)Thom has [a note](https://outgoing.typepad.com/outgoing/2005/12/work%5Fin%5Fprogres.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net) about some really nice search systems on his blog. Check [there](https://outgoing.typepad.com/outgoing/2005/12/work%5Fin%5Fprogres.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net) for the details of how these work. The search systems are based on an index of phrases, and suggest results as you type. These, combined with speed of response, give a very good serach experience.  
Look [here](https://phoenix.orhost.org/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) for a ‘quick’ search of the Phoenix Public Library collection. The dynamic presentation of results as you type works very well. Results are ranked by holdings.

This is useful as a way of quickly finding an appropriate heading. Again, results are ranked by the number of holdings in Worldcat. Potentially a productivity enhancement …  
These are pretty special.
