It is great to see that folks will be able to select a specific group to
search. Being able to sort results by date and relevancy makes sense. I look
forward to taking a look.
We have had folks say they've been pleasantly surprised to learn about similar
issues in other local issues forums via the search, so tweaking the everything
display would have value.
Will search result queries result in linkable queries? If it can look really
simple, that would be best. A google like extension would be to dump new
results into a web feed AND I've always thought it would very useful to give
group/site members (particularly for web-only folks) that ability to be
notified via e-mail when a new post on X group or across all public groups has
a set of keywords. This is how I get the Governor's staff to follow the forum -
let them get drawn in everytime his name is mentioned (almost all elected
officials or people for that matter would set a tracker on their own name.)
