Works great. When one clicks on advanced search, please keep the current query in the box though. (E.g. someone just may want to switch from "friends" to "everyone" but keep the same query.) Quote search would be nice too, it seems to be ignored right now. Also nice you offer an feed for results, though it kind of takes the fun out of screenscraping :)

this immediately gives one leg up over twitter

Maybe you should only show the comments that include your query and also search the shared posts.

FriendFeed just leveled up! Good job guys!

Nor, it might be just the bold highlight that's wrong then (it highlights word parts instead of the full phrase).

I underestimated the coolness factor of the new search until I searched for john adams to see what people thought of the hbo show, found some people who loved it, and discovered some cool people who have similar tastes that I never would have probably been aware of otherwise. Love it. I'm sending ya'll a box of cookies.

jim++ for search! i tried to use the friendfeed bookmarklet to share jim's superman photo but it vomited some broken HTML in the top right corner of the page.

Man, you know what's funny? Yesterday night I posted about how Friendfeed *so* needed to get filtering and search - 24h later, here it is! I am delighted! http://blog.webreakstuff.com/2008...
- Fred Oliveira
Search is great and will make a big difference. There is still a great need for filtering as well. When I say filtering I mean service filtering, This would help with service redundancy.

Hey Bret ... congrats on the continued evolution ... didn't hear from you the other day, but figure you may not have my digits. So if easier, just DM me on Twitter or old fashioned email great too: cathy[at]seesmic[dot]com ... truly looking forward to talking with you!

i was beginning to get worried that a company founded by people with good google dna would not add search :-) now i need to find some other feature to request..maybe de-duplicaiton of shared items?
- Charles Hudson
Great to see you guys constantly adding really important features, in very short order too.

FriendFeed has consistently been moving up my bookmark heiarchy. First, it was in a folder in my links bar. Today I moved it out of a folder and into the links bar as a single link (which is a very exclusive club.) Soon, it may even be made my home page! And all this within 24 hours!

Chris, Firefox has an option to "Show my windows and tabs from last time". I wish that were the default. I used to kill -9 it to get that behavior (because I didn't notice the option either). Eventually someone told me about the option...

Tab Mix Plus' session saver is better than Firefox's (imho).

I have the mobile verision of FF (http://friendfeed.com/embed...) so I can make the page any width and wrap, and I put in the Outlook browser. I have a wide monitor and usually have my inbox on the right side. Now I have FF on the right side, and click to my inbox when mail comes in. However, I haven't noticed if the feed will auto-refresh.
- Bill Bittner
Looks like it not longer auto-refreshes under Safari 3.1.
- Steve Rubel
Wow. Whole new world of functionality! Oh, Chris and Paul - I find the Google Browser Sync addon's session management even better than Firefox's AND TabMixPlus'

If there are any devs still listening to this thread, I'd like to suggest a universal search box that's available on every page, whether it's everyone, a specific person's feed, or even just one item. The single-item pages are missing a search box right now, and there's no link to the search page in the header. The same kind of box as is available elsewhere (the short one on the right) would be perfect.

becoming dependent on the search feature with sticky search and other gm scripts, i really really REALLY need a hide feature in search results please. plus agreed on the search box everywhere - use an additional dropdown for where to search. ;)
- Nicole Simon
What would you want the hide feature to do there?
- Aviv
I use the search feature to work in batches, but it is then when i decide that for example I really do not need to see your tweets. now I have to go to the normal screen and try to find that there, as your personal page does not have the hide feature either (why not btw?)
- Nicole Simon
Bret, look forward to u speaking at AltSearchEngines on Mon at 11:00. Call me to discuss! Twitter:@elliottng fouronefive-nineeightseven-eightysix-eightysix

I once introduced Chris as one of the world's leading experts on social networking to a potential business partner. I thought that was a good pitch!
