The database is finally reaching significant size so I decided to start playing with some of the things that I’ve been planning to do when a critical mass of spurls were reached.
The new addition is very small on the surface, but I suspect it may become a favorite feature for a lot of Spurl users: [...]

Just added a search function to search for entries in the entire Spurl.net database. This first version is very simple. It simply searches:

…for a search string match. The search is not limited to whole words, so searching e.g. for “interest” will return also return spurls where the words [...]
