Do people really search?
How often do you search in Reddit? Or Twitter? Facebook?
If steemit is after Reddit, than it needs to surface more content from more people and broader topics. Maybe allow more churn on trending pages, Customizable trending pages, or saved combinations of topics.
Yes I have searched here many times. It is very helpful for looking for specific topics here. This is just a year old and in beta version still. Things can't come together perfectly immediately. How where those platforms doing after 12 months?
