I fucking love you guys, the search reminds me a lot of Spotlight on the Mac. Fancy nonetheless. I seriously don't understand why people even use the absolute shit that is Myspace when guys are doing so much incredible stuff here at Virb.

Keep kicking ass. I love the Friend Search.

I don't understand why people can't make emphasis on a sentence without using profanity, but hey! This is a vast improvement guys, really good job!

Hey guys, I love what you're doing with this site, however I noticed a bug in the new friend search feature.

The search only searches for the display name and URL now, and it won't find people by their real name (unless they use their real name in their display name or URL). Finding friends by their real name is a lot easier because people can change their display name and stuff around, while their real name is unlikely to change.

So yeah, hopefully you guys can fix that up in the near future.

Keep up the good work. =)
