Ahhh, Django: my favorite web framework. And CouchDB: my favorite new database technology. How can I pair these two awesomes together to make an awesome-er? One of the features that I would like to add to this site when it's time for an upgrade is a lifestream. It seems like everyone is doing it these days (isn't this great logic!), so I probably should too. Originally this was going to be written in the standard ...

CouchDB via CouchDBX ( http://tinyurl.com/6co7po ) is amazingly easy to get up and running, and looks really cool. After that I'm lost ;)

Hm - I am using advanced search quite often. The recent change was not especially suitable for me. It's because of hiding date field which I use the most. Well, it added "more clicks". Perhaps there is possibility to add the fields to your custom search behaviour but I do not know anything about it. (How about adding such possibility for customizing your search settings?)...

So far this is my favorite of the "Search Quality" series that Google has been doing. A great example of the difference in usability testing in lab and at home and the general importance of usability testing.

Like driving, most people think they are good at googleing but are really not at all good at it. Many people use operators in everyday search situations and often end up removing the results they are looking for. I think the Google UX team does some interesting stuff but I am not amazed by their work on the Google.com results page or advanced search though we have seen some great improvements over the past few years. I do not much like the interface for dealing with quiries that have a few distinct meanings.
