Towers Guide is coming to the end of its seventh day in the App Store, and work on version 1.1 of the app is already steaming ahead. In the last entry I told you that we'd successfully tested multiple entrance support on park and this time I'm going to tell you about search!

Search is a feature which was planned to be integrated into the original release, but was pulled after running into some difficulties. We've now re-thought how we're going to implement the search feature and think we've come up with the best possible solution!

A new magnifying glass will appear in the top right hand corner of the main 'Browse' screen:



Tapping this will bring up the basic search screen:



This will operate in the same way that the iPhones native 'Contacts' App does - allowing you to perform text based searches as well as scrubbing through entries alphabetically using the letters on the right hand side of the screen.

You'll notice that there is also an 'Advanced' button in the top right hand corner of the search screen. The exact UI for this is yet to be decided, but we plan to allow you to filter search results via criteria such as 'ride type', 'ride height' etc. As soon as we've something to show, you'll be the first to know!

If you have any thoughts, comments or ideas to share with us - feel free to leave us a comment!
