Safari's Most Recent Experiments

Nested Search

Nested Search

This has been a very successful experiment. Nested search is now included in Safari's search functionality throughout the site.

The Hypothesis: Searching for information on Safari might be more efficient if users could combine search terms to reduce a long list of search results to a more targeted list.

The Experiment: Nested Search (sometimes referred to as iterative search or "digging") is an enhancement that enables users to narrow the focus of a search progressively - by adding more specific terms to the query.

Try It: Does nested search help you refine your search results? You can try it right here on Safari Labs! After an initial search, add more specific terms to focus the results list. You can also click a previously entered term to return to that point in your search.
