Or maybe just a certain comment, group or webpage?  Well, now you can find all of that and more with our new search tool!  That’s right - we’ve improved our search box and advanced search options to make finding your friends - and anything else you’re looking for - that much easier.

Now, when you use the regular search box, an entire laundry list of sorted results appears for you to choose from.  We give your results in categories, just how you like ‘em: comments, users, groups, and webpages.  How convenient is that?  You can view all of these results together in the results “overview” - just click the tabs to view the top results from each, or open just one category’s full results at a time using the links at the left.  You can find anyone or anything, as long as it isn’t something private:  Private comments and groups won’t show up in your search results (we hid them under our invisibility cloak) because otherwise they wouldn’t be private - and that wouldn’t be very nice now, would it?  But that’s the only thing our search tool won’t show you.  Everything else is free for your perusal.  Just click search.  Simple.

And if you still can’t find what you’re looking for using our normal search box?  Try our new and improved Advanced Search feature - it’s full of fun new options to help you find exactly what you need, no matter how obscure.  Of course, if you’re really tech savvy, you can just type the search operators into the regular search box (show off).  But if you’re like most people, using the advanced search feature is way easier than getting a degree in computer science.  And that’s why we have it:  We want to make your life - and your searching - as simple as possible.  Just click Advanced Search (it’s right beneath the normal search button), and fill in the Advanced Search options however you want.

You can search for comments made by certain authors, or made in certain groups.  Search for specific text either in a reference or in the comment itself, or get really specific and search for comments made between certain dates or on certain webpages (URLs).  You can even search by comment tags.  Make your search as broad or tailored as you want by searching with one, two, or even all of these criteria filled in.  It’s your search; do it how you want.  Just fill in whichever fields you choose, and click Search.  Your results will show up in all those pretty and easy-to-use categories (comments, users, groups and webpages).  And if you still can’t find what you’re looking for… it either doesn’t exist, or we fed it to our interns.
