The powerful Reviews and Ratings system for "Directory / Pages Plugin" has got even better with new enhancements. If reviews and ratings are an important component of your website, then you are sure to love these enhancements:

- Search enhancements in "Directory / Pages Plugin" wrt Reviews and Ratings: Keeping up with our priority for having powerful search and filtering in "Directory / Pages Plugin", we have added new fields and options in the Search Form. As announced earlier, site admin can customize search fields in the Search Form:
    ~ Ability to Search only Pages with Reviews: A new field in the Search Form - "Only Pages with Reviews" enables this.
    ~ Filtering over "Most Reviewed" and "Highest Rated": New options in the "Browse By" field of Search Form enable this.

- New Widgets: We have created many new useful and attractive widgets. Websites for which reviews and ratings are an important feature will find these very valuable:
    ~ Top Reviewers: This widget shows the top reviewers for the Pages on your site based on the number of reviews posted by them.
    ~ Featured Reviews: Displays Featured Reviews as chosen by the Site Admin. This can be very helpful to highlight quality review for Directory Items / Pages.
    ~ Review of the Day: Displays the Review of the Day for Pages as selected by the Site Admin. This can be very helpful to highlight a quality review every day.
    ~ Popular Reviews: Displays popular reviews for Pages on your site. Admin can choose the criteria for popularity amongst Views, Likes, Comments, etc.
    ~ AJAX Tabbed Reviews widget: This tabbed AJAX widget concisely shows important information about reviews in 3 tabs: Recent, Popular, Top Reviewers. Admin can choose the criteria for popularity amongst Views, Likes, Comments, etc.
   
- Migration of Widget Settings to Layout Editor: Widget settings have now been moved from Admin Panel of Reviews and Ratings extension to the Layout Editor. A widget can now be placed multiple times on a page with different settings for each placement.

- Reviews count along with Views, Likes, etc in the entries on Pages Home and Browse Pages.
