Language support and faster search
EasyLink now supports French and English, and search has been rebuilt for a much larger jobs dataset.
Language support
On the web, the app uses the browser's default language. On mobile, it follows the device language. Users can also override that choice manually, and their preference is remembered.
This update makes the product feel more natural for both French-speaking and English-speaking users instead of forcing everyone into the same default experience.
A new search architecture
As the dataset grew into the hundreds of thousands of jobs, the old search architecture stopped scaling well. Most queries could take between one and two minutes.
We rebuilt search to handle a much larger volume of data and brought those same queries down to under a second.
| Search performance | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Most queries | 1-2 minutes | Under 1 second |
That represents a performance improvement of about 99%.
