NEW: Slider controls for search filtering (locked)

Since Cleartrip launched, we’ve had top-of-the-line search filters that allow you to adjust your flight and hotel search results so that you can make the perfect choice with just a few extra clicks and instant updates to the results. There was a little something that our filters were missing—you guessed it, slider controls.

We’ve had a lot of requests from users for sliders and last night we launched a new version of our search filters with the sliders. The image below provides a before and after look at our flight filters—the old filter is on the left and the new one on the right with the sliders highlighted.

We use the slider for all filtering that involves a range of values, for instance, price range or departure and arrival time ranges. The sliders are a nice improvement over the dropdown menus we had previously—they surface the underlying information immediately without forcing you to hunt through a list of values.

In addition to surfacing information quickly, the sliders provide very precise control in specifying the range of values that are acceptable to you. It’s now very easy to say that you only want to see flights that depart between 10:30 am and 11:30 pm.

Cleartrip’s air search features sliders for price, departure time and arrival time; the hotel search has a slider for price.

We hope you love the new sliders—we’re always looking for ways to improve your searching and booking experience.
