Remember “SearchAssist”? It is back!

One drop of water helps to swell the ocean, a spark of fire helps to give light to the world; similarly a small enhancement in Dhingana’s search engine will help you to enjoy music at its best. Now finding albums or songs with SearchAssist are as easy as finding a needle in a haystack. Just start typing in your search query, SearchAssist will help you to find a better match. Its fast, its simple and its ultra efficient. By selecting one of the suggested results from the drop down options, SearchAssist takes user directly to the respective album page by eliminating a number of unnecessary steps.

Lets face the fact. It is always very challenging to search for the right song or movie or a music album, particularly because the spellings of the words used to name songs/movies/albums in the Indian sub-continent can vary.

Sometimes you spell “pyar” and sometimes “pyaar“. Sometimes we use “jaana” and sometimes “jana“..

Dhingana always loves to make it easier for all music fans to access their favorite music. Hence, we have re-launched a newly engineered search assistant called “SearchAssist”. So the next time you start typing for searching songs, albums, singers or even users (in the search box), “SearchAssist” will kick-in automatically, on the second character you type and will start displaying the Top 15 search hits, live, as you type.

Try searching for “dil” as show below:

Feeling romantic? Try searching for a song with “pyar ki” words in it:

Want to find your friends on Dhingana? Sure, SearchAssist can help

As you search, you can use your mouse or even your keyboard arrow keys to move up or down in the list of displayed results and then hit enter or click to directly jump to the album or users profile page. So go ahead and give it a try…

We hope “SearchAssist” will make it really easy to search for music, singer and your musical friends on Dhingana.

Cheers,

Dhingana Team
