There is a lot of obvious good things in here but I wanted to say that I love the careful use of homonyms in the posts - searching "cancelled" gives results for the cancelled show but also the cancelled person, "flood" for Lativia floods and TRONIX FLOOD, etc. very smart stuff great work (also not unlike real-world drama searching...)
