Searchability and SEO should definitely be high on the list of new features. And getting the SEO right for google should give us a good starting point for search (at least for everything but new posts).

i would love to see this feature added ASAP as well!!

Could someone with Steemit add a simple Google Search for the time being? If not, anyone have a site they can add this code (or your own)?
> <script>
  (function() {
    var cx = '010682486105203908664:jrj1cd4nlfg';
    var gcse = document.createElement('script');
    gcse.type = 'text/javascript';
    gcse.async = true;
    gcse.src = 'https://cse.google.com/cse.js?cx=' + cx;
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
    s.parentNode.insertBefore(gcse, s);
  })();
</script>
<gcse:search></gcse:search>
