Introducing our new, more powerful search

We’re excited to introduce our new, more powerful search!

With such a rich publication — nearly 14,000 charts and hundreds of articles on more than 120 topics — it can be hard to find what matters to you.

Now, finding what you’re looking for, or discovering something new, has never been easier.

What’s changed?

Search for everything in one place

Before, the best place to search for data (our Data Catalog) was outside of our main search.

Now, we’ve brought them together in the same experience. Use the buttons at the top to narrow your focus.

Our 350+ Data Insights are now also included.

Richer display of search results

Our interactive charts let you view data in many ways: as line and bar charts, maps, tables, and more.

Now, these different views — and key data points — are part of the search results, helping you find what you want more easily.

The views also respond to searches for particular countries.

Results tailored to your search

For example, searching for a country (such as the UK) vs searching for a topic (such as poverty) don’t give the same results template.

They’re presented in a different way to give you the most relevant results.

Behind the scenes

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes sketch our team made when designing this new experience. As you can see, there’s a lot going on!

This new search is thanks to our teammates Matthieu Bergel, Sophia Mersmann, Marwa Boukarim, Martin Račák, and Joe Hasell.
