• Also... the search is shit thing is pretty amusing.

    Microcosm is weird... everything is search.

    • Today page = search
    • Following page = search
    • People page = search
    • Upcoming events = search
    • hashtag links = search
    • Messaging = search

    Search powers everything. The site really has 2 queries that do 80% of the work.

    The issue is less "search is shit" (because you're using search constantly and it's fine), but more "the interface to search is shit" (because it's so powerful it's really hard to make a tidy HTML form for it).
