I don't know who else has noticed this. But while most everyone is busy checking the Featured Page ("Has mine reached the top of the charts yet?"), or commenting on each other's blogs ("Oh, goody! Five new comments!"), or checking out who's the latest casualty ("Evil_Twin? Incredible!")... Soulcast springs another surprise on us.
Guess what?
Finally, a top-of-the-line Google-powered search facility.
SC's earlier in-house search facility was, to put it kindly, anemic and astigmatic. An embarrassment to any self-respecting online database programmer. (Sorry 'bout that, guys, didn't know a better way to put it nicely...:-)
Now, SC's search box -- top right and bottom right of the sc page, dolts -- has become at par with the standard Google Internet-wide search facility. I tested for an exact-phrase search string. Try "desert moon" enclosed in double-quote marks. It works. I tested for an and/or search string. I used indigenous+pigs, if you're curious to know. It works beautifully. With the returns ranked and displayed as we expect a Google search result to behave.
Thank you, Soulcast. Don't stop amazing us, y'hear? I knew there was another reason why I continue to stick around and ogle your growing baby, guys... :-)

silver -- well, i for one...lol. an occasional 3x a day check if i have a new blog... ;-)
i noticed the google search box only a few hours ago, too. it's been quite some time now since i tried to use, again (with a tone of frustration here), sc's old search facility. when cops posted a comment about that magic mirror, which i vaguely recalled but couldn't pin down, i glanced at the search box again. and voila. i finally get to notice the familiar google logo. i don't know how long it's been there... one week? a few days? just today?
it's really cool. i totally agree.

Thanks Moon, so that thing is a search engine for anything huh? I thought it was just to look up stuff in soulcast...........but I have an excuse......I don't know shit from shineola......... -

mobil -- you're still right there, my friend. the box is indeed to search for stuff within soulcast -- which most of us tend to forget after a while, until something sparks our recollection and we need to read them again. the nice thing now is that it behaves exactly like google does for internet-wide searches.
