I think that users will do more SEARCHES for the content they like in the future.
Like I do on YouTube. I go straight to the search bar an look for my favorite topic. I even drill down to what was posted the "past day" or even "past hour". This is how I see users finding what they want here at Steemit.
When Steemit continues to add hundreds of thousands of users, maybe users will be less focused on the "trending page". And trust me we need that to happen.
Most average writers will never see the main page or "trending page". There is a growing talent entering the Steemit Community everyday and I don't expect to compete with these brilliant writers and bloggers. What I do think I can do in compete in my area of interest or my hobby. Maybe then I can make it to the "trending" page under MY category. That is definitely more realistic in my opinion.
That is why the SEARCH page needs to be improved, a little more sexy if you will, and give us multiple ways to search. There are some great minds running Steemit and their is even greater minds signing on every day. If someone has some ideas about sprucing up the search page please comment below and just maybe someone will see it.
I'm sure they will work on it eventually but I feel like building an internal search engine will take a lot of time right now. I upvoted you.

Thanks for your comments... I checked out your post and up voted. Good Luck!
I totally agree, the search page right now looks like it is using just a google search API, and is not very clean to use. I hope this is a soon to come update.
The search was down for several days and I just noticed it was back up. ALL ONE LINE OF IT..... lol
FYI, you have this tagged with "seach"no "r". I assume you want to tag this with "search". May also want to add the tag #steemit to bring more views to your post. Fits in that category also.
it let me add search and steemit, but not take out the first one. oh well. Thanks for pointing this out. I get in a rush and should slow down. lol
Hi. I don't want to spam but I have included you in my new art project. Thank you for motivating me!I hope you don't mind.
I agree. A personal page where you can keep track of followers and following would be appreciated, too. @dantheman @ned
I totally agree. It is not user friendly and it is not easy to sift through content to find what you are looking for. That and notifications are two very important features that need to be addressed
remember, this is still the beta.. more updates to come in the future
I know and I agree. But I think a lot of people would like to drill down on some searches now. That's all I'm saying. Thanks
Agreed. I'm new to Steemit, started using it two days ago and this is the first downside I noticed. On the first day it wasn't even enabled, it said "temporarily unavailable". The search function is crucial on a website like this!!
I would like to see a "my favorite searches area", the categories on the search page, and the option from that page to search by HOUR, DAY, WEEK, MONTH, or YEAR. This would be great. And maybe they could have the users you follow on that page.
Nice @peacekeeper
