Google Searches

We have added the ability to run Google searches on RedWeek.com. If you look to the right on our Home page or our Browse page, you will see the new Google search. The search is set to search RedWeek.com by default, but you may also set it to search the entire World Wide Web, if you prefer.

This new feature does not replace the current "Find a Timeshare" function found directly above it. That feature remains the best way to search our site for a specific timeshare rental, resale or exchange, by name or location, with advanced options like date ranges and number of bedrooms. Instead, the Google search is a way to find specific pages on RedWeek.com using keywords. For example, enter the search terms "daytona rental posting", and click "Go!". You will see that you find a combination of browse pages, resort pages and timeshare posting pages. Run a few queries of your own, and see what you find.

Please let us know your thoughts on this new feature, and send us any suggestions as to how we can improve your experience on RedWeek.com

Font Sizes on RedWeek.com

We received several comments regarding our redesign that pertained to the typeface (or font) used on our site. Some folks said it made the text look larger to them, and easier to read. Others said it looked smaller, and made some aspects of browsing more difficult.

The text size did in fact get increased from what we had on our previous design. However, the typeface was changed from Verdana to Trebuchet. Other factors besides actual size effect the readability of any font, as evidenced by the mixed responses we received. While you can always adjust the size of the text on any website by changing your browser's settings, not all users know how or want to do so. So, we have decided to add a "Text Size" preference to RedWeek.com (requires cookies and javascript to be enabled).

If you look on the left hand side of any page on RedWeek.com, you will see "Text Size: A A A", where each "A" is slightly larger as you make your way from left to right. As you click on an "A", the size of all the text on the site is increased or decreased accordingly. Find the one you like, and that remains your text size choice whenever you visit RedWeek.com.
