Catalogs section redone on Collecting Snap-on site

Post by Ken Miller »

Hi Everyone!
We've just revamped the Catalogs section of the Collecting Snap-on site...
http://collectingsnapon.com/catalogs.php
Here are some new features we've added to the catalog pages:

1- The new pages allow you to search for indexed keywords in the catalog pages. Frank and I have been working hard to find a way to make the catalogs searchable, and this seemed like the best solution for a number of reasons. Unfortunately the catalog pages need to all be indexed by hand. Frank has been working on this and has indexed pages up to 1929 Catalog G. There are a total of 3759 catalog pages, so it's going to take a long time to get them done.
2- The search feature has autosuggest, which will help you find what you're typing automatically based on existing keywords.
3- The catalog pages have a magnifier, so you can see small details. You can also double click the page to see a large image of the page.
4- There's a new section called "Other Curiosities" which has an interesting assortment of related catalogs and Snap-On literature. You can see it here: http://collectingsnapon.com/curiosities.php

Thanks and please let us know if you have any feedback, or if you have any problems with the new pages. We're still working out some minor bugs in the code.

Thanks!
-Ken
