Over the past few weeks, we have quietly rolled out the long awaited "Advanced Search" capabilities. Many of you already discovered this hidden feature just by trying to use the plus sign. Very clever! We often roll out features without highlighting them so that we can start to test them on our site.
However, the time has come to make this easily available to everyone. Advanced search allows you to use AND, OR, and NOT to refine your search queries. We use the symbols +, |, and ! to do this. No worries, you don't have to remember this now. We highlight it on the site if you want to start taking advantage of it.
Please keep your thoughts and ideas coming so that we can keep making BlinkList better and better.

PS: It looks like del.icio.us finally released a global search box on their site today but it does not yet offer advanced search features like AND. >> Del.icio.us expands search

Hi Mike,
Indeed I find BlinkList more happening and useful. Your blog also gives good overview of social bookmarking. I had just use the 'shadow' word to form a good title, actually I have been a fan of technorati and delicious and now I think I will be blinlisting
Wish you guys all the best, nice product and nice integration of 'people with tags' . Hey you can use this as punch line 'people with tags'

Advanced search does'n seem to work. I searched for "web2.0 AND ajax" which rendered the following URLs:
http://www.blinklist.com/pgiger/search.php&q=web2.0%20AND%20ajax
http://www.blinklist.com/search.php&q=web2.0%20AND%20ajax
There was no hits. I have certainly bookmarks tagged with web2.0, ajax and I'm more than certain that there are many in the public Blinklist...
