Thanks for uploading the screen captures, from which it can be seen that your actual timings for the *A Award Searches are:
- Using a Regular Web Browser: 20 seconds (starting at 00:00, ending at 00:20)
- Using the KVS Tool: 15 seconds (starting at 00:41, ending at 00:56)
LOL I agree with the KVS one, but not quite sure how you get the web browser timings!
You seem to be counting the time to type in details on the webpage, which isn't a fair comparison - so it's actually from 00:15 when the 'Next' orange button is clicked to 00:20.
I appreciate KVS allows for other items to be changed between searches but realistically I just want to find dates I can get an award booked! It's the day-to-day search that is particularly problematic - in a practical sense when I'm searching for an award then what I need to do is keep clicking through to find a day with the award - the website seems to be much quicker at doing this. The interesting thing was that when it was taking >30s for a KVS search the website one was no different in time - thankfully this seems to have improved a bit but I'm on the same machine so I don't know why.
