@rrhoover how do new products get added to the search? Ours (http://www.producthunt.com/tech/...) was hunted a week ago but still doesn't show up if I search for "Wellthy".

@kevinroche we only show products that are "featured" as there are hundreds of other products, many of them not moderator (with spelling errors, bad images, etc.) that would clutter the results. We're working on providing a filter to search everything and other advanced filter options.

BIG thanks to @maximesalomon and @sylvainutard from Algolia (http://www.algolia.com, http://www.producthunt.co/posts/...) for hooking us up with real-time search. Admittedly, we kept it simple in this first release but have plans to make it more accessible and improve search results. Feedback and ideas welcome!
Maxime Salomon
Always happy to help @rrhoover! Also happy to answer questions about @algolia if needed.

That's great news! I used Algolia's demo for ProductHunt several times, to check if a product hasn't already been hunted. Kudos to @rrhoover and @maximesalomon

Huge! Ideas: - 1. Allow us to search for people, and isolate the people results from product results. - 2. Allow us to hit the down key to navigate the results. - 3. If someone searches for a product that produces no results, perhaps suggest that they "Hunt It."

@GeoffreyWeg - good ideas! Thanks. WRT #2, we could allow people to hit the down arrow to scroll through results, ENTER to open the product page, and right arrow to open the comments (left arrow to collapse). Definitely a power use feature but could be useful.

awesome!

Out of curiosity, why not have the search embedded at the top of the page somewhere?

@lylemckeany - that's the plan. We wanted to keep it simple to get something out sooner.

@rrhoover Makes sense. It's definitely nice to have the search capabilities instead of doing "site:producthunt.co" searches on Google. Well done @maximesalomon!
