Traditional search was not on the original roadmap for our blogosphere/indieweb discovery project. But with the framework and data in place, it was easy enough to add a no-frills search function.

In addition to the normal search result info, each post has a link to the Outer Web graph where you can see that page's web neighbors.

can you submit a site the way you used to be able to with google etc?

That was somewhere near the top of the backlog but this is as good a reason as any to start it tonight. Should be live in a day or two.

cool project! what was the data you used?

Thanks! If you're asking if we leveraged a pre-canned dataset, we did not. We gathered page data the old fashioned way, using hyperlinks and rss for depth and breadth.
