Search - Tudor Bosman

Paul's going to take finding friends next, so that leaves me with search :) - Sanjeev Singh

btw, where is my dual homing t-shirt :) - Sanjeev Singh

On my desk :) Pick a day next week (other than Wednesday), I'll stop by the FF HQ sometime after lunch. - Tudor Bosman

I'm too security-conscious to import my address-book except by exporting it first. In other feature-request news, shouldn't ff also coordinate my gaggle of status messages: e.g. having a status that gets updated whenever I update my twitter or gmail status. - j1m

search now live! (done by Jim and Bret) :) - Sanjeev Singh

Done by Jim actually. I did the HTML, doesn't count :) - Bret Taylor

*like* that search is live! - Dan Hsiao

rox! should it expand the "Show # more comments" sections to show hits? - ⓞnor

for friend finding, do some different formats, like plain CSV - Jeremy Raines

hit-highlighting is screwy with quoted phrases, like "should I work". - ⓞnor

That's because it is an utter hack in JavaScript right now :P It will get better shortly. - Bret Taylor

ha, it's even screwier with | or's, like finding|friends - ⓞnor

If I implement search for a site, I use Lucene. I wonder what the ex-google guys would use... - Elias Torres

Jim used lucene. It was quite a pain, though, so I'm glad he did all the work :) - Sanjeev Singh

Adding an RSS feed for the search results on a specific term would add a nice touch and be very useful :) - Mark Krynsky

There is a feed for the results. You should see a feed icon in your browser that will let you subscribe to the feed. http://friendfeed.com/search?q... - Bret Taylor

Sweet! You guys should add an RSS Icon with the URL for the feed at the end of all search result pages. This is great. - Mark Krynsky

How on earth is the FF search so fast ! These little details make FF totally usable. - Zoltan Szendro

There's no reason for search to be slow, in any app. Are you listening, gmail developers?? - Amit Patel

You can always make search fast as long as you're willing to give up on things like freshness or relevance or latency. That's not a trade-off that most users really don't want to make. - Adewale Oshineye

Gmail ranks by date, which inherently makes the problem much easier since your posting lists and results have the same ordering. I agree with Amit :) - Bret Taylor

The best thing is you people have done very good subtle things in UI. Which time and again makes me say 'Wow'. You are almost there now. - Varun Mahajan
