New Feature: Orkut Topic Searcher

Okay, for those of you active on Orkut, this is probably old news for you, (especially if you do heavy searching on the forums) but for those of you who did not know, Google has recently added a new feature to Orkut, enabling users to search the "orkutsphere" for key phrases and words.

To access this feature from your homepage, click on the Search link above...



...which should bring you to the Universal Search page. After that, click on the Topics menu...



...then select your topic (in this case I choose banana).



After that, click the Search button, and Orkut will list every forum within its query (aka results of the search).



True to being a Google search, the cool thing about this is the ability to type in quotations around two words if you are looking for an exact phrase (like "banana rama").

Good job Google! Now if only we could have something similar for our scrapbooks...
