following the announce right now : http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=331068

JOYZE:We’re releasing a new search filter today that will allow clients to sort results by price. By default search results will contain files from every price range. To narrow results, you can select preferred price ranges by adjusting the “Price Range” section on the left-hand side of the page in the search facet area.

The lowest price level (one dot) represents files requiring fewer credits to download, while the highest price level (four dots) represents files requiring a higher number of credits to download (our premium collection). This “Price Range” filter is a slider that lets the client either select a specific price level or set a range of price levels that they’d like to search within.

This has been a long time request from our contributor and client base. The price filter will make it easier for clients to find the files they’re looking for within their budgets.

I just looked, I'm not seeing it yet. Or did I miss it? Maybe they meant tomorrow, Friday, after 5...isn't that typically when new "features" get added?

good move, glad to see it is finally implemented...wonder how it will affect Vetta and Agency sales...maybe it won't at all...after all buyers who need to search by price aren't the demographic for V/A anyways....

I'm guessing Joyze used 'are' releasing as in 're going to be'. As in "I am going to X tomorrow". She didn't say, "we have released".
Great so long as it works, and more options than most expected.

Excellent! A price slider is much better than a simple "Vetta off" filter.

Hooray! This is great news. Buyers have been begging for this so long, I can hardly believe it is actually happening.

absolutely. I think this is the best way they could have implemented this feature. impressed this feature is being released so quickly.

A price slider between one dot and four dots sound like something they are trying to hide as much as possible. Clearly, the idea is that the ordinary punter will never find it but those who start complaining about price can be pointed in its direction.

I take the semi-cave-in on this to be an indication that the current strategy of promoting high-priced stuff has backfired badly. Big corporations never react quickly to anything that runs counter to established policies, things have to get pretty bad before they admit to making a mistake.

Sounds like an improvement. Sad to see that it looks like it is still ranges. It would be nice to search for an exact credit price.

why? I think this is exactly opposite of what we would want...and I'd doubt that most buyers would search for precise credit prices....I think a range is a much safer way of searching.

If someone has just 10 credits left, they may only want results that they can afford to purchase. I do think that that could easily be too confusing however, given the different prices in sizes and all.

default ranges:

1 dot includes exclusive & indie files, main collection and P+ files

2 dots includes e+

3 dots Vetta

4 dots Agency

best match is mixed results as per usual, and the ranges can be adjusted to include more price options

Seems to work pretty well so far. I only tried a couple of searches.

Looks really good! ~~It also appears to default to one dot, which will probably please buyers.~~

Scratch that. It's just that the best match is not so vetta and agency heavy, so it looked similar to the one dot setting.
