Update: Improvements to Searching Beers & Places

Today we made some significant improvements to searching for beers and places. While it's not 100% where we'd like it to be, the following updates have addressed most of our immediate concerns and feedback from you.

• More accurate. We reduced redundancies that were resulting in search score (relevance) inflation for some beers and places. The result are now much more accurate.
• More useful. Search score is still priority when displaying results, however we now take the number of ratings into consideration. This makes it easier to find popular beers and places.
• More forgiving. Improved handing of special characters.

I just launched the desktop updates, and Mike will be updating BA mobile shortly.

Enjoy.
