We basically tested the search capability and the refinement tools for the results. Ultimately we were trying to see what the best user experience is for the refinement tools. We had two scenarios that tested the refinement tools together at the top of the results or running down the side of the results seen typically in retail shopping sites. We found that it really came down to user preference. The designs we had were very usable either way and the users did not have issues, the just had preferences. Thanks Jacob, I will email you in a bit. I am very interested it what you are working on. We were testing some on-sale functionality for a travel website.

Stupid question, but what exactly were you testing? And how did the results pan out? I'm part of a team that's developing a new online usability tool at intuitionhq.com - it's also a really simple concept, although the concept is slightly different. Usually our users send the tests on to their clients so they can get feedback from that end, and help the clients understand and feel more involved in the design process, without actually over involving them, if you know what I mean. If you'd like to have a try with out service, you can flick me an email, or hit us up on twitter @intuitionhq and I can give you some free tests to try it out. Cheers, Jacob. Hi Mike,
