We Love Digg but you gotta fix that search feature , the below screenshot is after multiple attempts of trying to get it to display relevent results. This was typical (we tried sort by best match and every other display option). In the below search we tried to get it to display all the most recent Diggs regarding an ‘ad agency’

You tell me what does the EPA, FEMA and all the other results have in common with an Ad Agency? Nothing, other than 1 word of the 2 word search string, I put the word ‘ad’ in the search for a reason…. like most of us… we search for the keywords we are looking for.. with results like this I might as well just typed in ‘agency’ rather than ‘ad agency’.

We are not trying to tell you how to run your business, but at least spend more time on this aspect, millions of us sort of depend on this to find out what’s going on in our little industries.

Digg is coded in PHP and uses MySql Databases … an average coder could fix this…
