Publishers might like it if it looked nice and it worked - but....

a) I think it's very garish - the results page looks like it was thrown together in five minutes by someone using frontpage or dreamweaver for the very first time.

b) the more serious issue (design is relatively simple to sort) is the search simply does not work.

I did a search for holidays in Galicia in September

1st result was for holidays in France (erm no, Galicia is in North West Spain)

2nd result was for holidays in St Lucia (wrong again)

OK I thought so maybe Galicia was a bit niche - let's try holidays in Majorca in September - same results (well except this time St Lucia came first and Galicia came second)

Admittedly the flight search worked a bit better but I expected to see actual flight details not just five links to Archers holidays.

Sorry to be harsh but at the moment you would stand more chance arriviing at a destination in London on time driven by a blind cab driver on his first time in London who had just stepped off the plane from New York than you have of your search returning 'contextual' results.

Frankly I am amazed that the Daily Telegraph have allowed this onto their site when it clearly still requires heavy development.
