Some time ago we blogged about the sad state of search functions on German websites. Newspaper portals in particular have a large amount of high-quality content, but without powerful search, only the latest articles can be found in a useful way.

In this video, we take a look at major publications and how they deal with the issue of search and autocomplete. A spoiler ahead: the situation is unchanged.

For the moment, we limited ourselves to German publications, so the video is also only available in a DE version.

Artificial intelligence - technology or strategy?

Agile project management is not an end in itself, but requires clear roles, prioritization, decision-making authority, and a cross-functional environment. Depending on the stability of requirements, compliance and documentation needs, external dependencies, and budget/fixed price constraints, waterfall or hybrid approaches are often more appropriate, and a method-driven “pseudo-agility” can otherwise lead to chaos, scope creep, and cost/schedule risks.
