Next: Better-Looking Results with Bootstrap’s List Group

We’ve got a solid back end going for our search. It’s now really fast and we didn’t have to do anything other than add a few indexes to our database. The user interface actually isn’t too bad, either, considering we didn’t spend much time on it. But it could be better.

The next chapter will bring us back to the front end, as we redesign the results. We’ll see that Bootstrap’s many helper classes and components can make it easy to try out new designs. This means we can provide better software for our users without investing huge amounts of time in writing CSS.
