Major site search enhancements just went live. See the blog for more details:

Getting much better, I was actually able to sign in, which at other times was barely possible. Keep up the good work.

I HATE the search engine! You have to spell everything exactly correct. For the first time I looked on the site, I spelled "Chevy" when I was looking for a list of thier cars. Then (after must frustration) that realized that I had to spell "Chevrolet"!! LOL

Unless you're very specific it's hard to find anything. E.g. I searched for imdb - nothing. I searched for IMDb - nothing. Then for IMDb.com - bingo! Personally that was frustrating. Many times I've searched for things and gotten "0 matches", when in fact I'd just spelled it wrong or been too specific/inspecific. Usually it's quite good but I think it's too picky about capital and small letters.

Works well, but it might be good to add the users to this database - perhaps the ones with 10 or more substantial comments. That way you could search for people you want to read as well as topics.

Not so great, actually. If you type in "The Godfather," for instance, instead of just "Godfather," RateItAll's search engine can't find that movie. This needs to be changed, and soon.

Excellent search results. It gives you categories as well, so you can tell if it is exactly what you are looking for. I absolutely love this site!

I have found that the search engine on the site is accurate (except the exact item that I am searching for is not always the first result) when I correctly type in a key word. However, my spelling is not the best when typing rapidly, so I would say that the site should increase the fuzziness of its search engine. I misspelled 'Elisabeth Shue' - I used a 'z' in her first name as opposed to an 's' and there were no search results. It seems as though the system should be able to find results, if there are any, from the word 'Shue'.
