iATN Releases New Search Engine

The International Automotive Technicians Network (IATN) has launched a new search platform. The new search function is aimed at making it easier for premium members to quickly find real-world knowledge from service industry professionals exchanged on IATN, the group said.iATN

“Being able to quickly define a vehicle is a major time-saver. With a few keystrokes, a vehicle can be quickly defined, then, one can simply type in a DTC, symptom, component, signal, etc. or select from any of the dynamically displayed attributes in the left pane. Since this search interface spans across all of iATN simultaneously, it increases the chances that you’ll find something relevant to your interest,” said Scott Brown, iATN president.

iATN said key features of the new search engine include;

• Search Related Vehicles. The system automatically groups all vehicles equipped with the same engine platform. If the user is performing research on systems that are not limited to a specific engine, they can quickly include all vehicles equipped with any of the available engines, or even expand their search to other related vehicles.

• Smart Vehicle Builder. The search box will accept a VIN for quick decoding or the user can define a vehicle using natural language; “07 F250” will produce a list of 2007 Ford F-250 models to choose from.

• Related DTCs. During a search a user will begin to see a dynamic list of related items along the left pane, including a DTC list where the top ten related DTCs appear.

• Supercharged Search.  The search engine can adapt to misspellings and find documents based on auto terminology similar to the words typed by the user. For example, “misfire” will also match “misfires,” “miss,” “missing,” “misses,” “skipping,” and similar terms.
