FYI…I tried the queries which we discussed earlier in this blog and ClearTrip seems to understand all of that.

Also, to provide another user prespective, I also liked Tabbed display of results for various classes (II AC, III AC etc.) by Yatra for recently launched train search on Yatra.com. It was very convenient to use…

Thanks for these very useful inputs.
Really good to have features from the users point of view.
I have noted down these points in our tasks list.

We welcome your suggestions and comments.

Thanks for considering my request .

1) While putting filter logic for “Tonight” you can also consider putting similar logic even when you have “Today” in query and filter any morning results if the query is performed in afternoon. No point showing users a train which has already left.

2) Also you can consider a specific class preference and filter the results if user wants to travel specifically by AC or First Class. Try this – “trains from bangalore to cochin by first class”. This query shows results even for trains without any First Class coaches. This may be a conscious decision from your team not to put that intelligence but I personally would like to get that filter in place and put the control somehow in users’ hand to explore a lower class if they can’t find availability in higher class.

Thanks a lot.
Yes, we will definitely include an option to sort the results on the route rank.
Regarding “tonight”, thanks for pointing this out. We will take care of this.

Another observation for a query which I tried for my travel – “Bangalore to Cochin by train tonight”

Keyword “tonight” is not understood here and I was shown train departing in morning and afternoon as well…It will be nice if you can take care of this and filter the results
