Eventbrite // Event Search
When I came to Eventbrite the event search functionality was rather – non-functional. The search engine was slow, filtering events was non-existent, no geolocation data was being leveraged to help the viewer find events near them, and the results being displayed were basic and hard to read.
Event search was going to be key to the companies growth as it became more and more of an event discovery site. People needed to be able to quickly find what was going on near them, or in another location, and quickly absorb the key information of What, When and Where quickly.
