3 Reasons Why Tag Cloud is the Best for Searching Documents
Tag cloud has been floating around the web since the 90’s. Tag cloud (also known as word cloud or weighted list) is a visual representation of text data to depict tags (or keywords / metadata) on websites or just any visualization use.
With tag cloud, a user can see in a glimpse what the contents are and at the same time, immediately locate contents based on their frequency or category.
Simply, it is used to ease up navigation and search.
But what about the ever-nifty search bar, you ask? Well, search bars do pretty well in a handful number of contents. However, it becomes short-lived when it deals with very large amounts of files, documents, or contents.
It comes with two hefty reasons: it is either you should have a powerful search bar for metadata or a proficient file naming system. Good thing, tag cloud covers what the plain search bar can’t do. Tag cloud collects all the tags on a content and make available for the user to see on a field. So regardless how similar or vague the file names are, tag cloud efficiently does the dirty job.
It allows users, too, to explore contents without having the difficulty of digging down to a mess of folders and subfolders.
What most people don’t know, tag cloud has more up in the sleeves.
