Redesign e novas funções na busca do Tumblr

Em toda a história do Tumblr, tentativas de procurar por conteúdos específicos na rede eram sempre frustradas por restrição apenas à tags, com resultados falhos e navegação limitada.

Parece que, depois de algum investimento e bastante tempo, a empresa anunciou recentemente que sua função de busca foi totalmente reconstruída, da mecânica ao visual, e agora explora todos os 65 milhões (e crescendo) número de posts.

Com o novo sistema, os resultados não são mais restritos à busca apenas por tag, gerando resultados de posts que fazem qualquer menção à palavra-chave que se busca.

Para direcionar os resultados, ficou possível buscar por múltiplas tags e também filtrar os tipos de posts que procura. Além disso, o sistema também sugere tumblrs relacionados aos temas de busca.

Com a novidade, Tumblr sai ganhando ao entrar para a lista de redes e ferramentas de fácil acesso aos tantos dados e conteúdos que incham a web e tornam cada vez mais essencial a busca, o tagueamento, o filtro e uma boa curadoria.

tumblrsearch-1 tumblrsearch-2

A nova função já está disponível, mas é preciso estar logado para ver.
