Although Playlistify hasn’t launched officially I am happy to announce that most wanted feature ‘search’ is now implemented in the Playlistify Directory! From now on it is super easy to find new playlists you like. Read more about the new feature right after this:
It was already possible for quite some time to share and discover playlists through the shorturl http://Pli.st (bit.ly powered) or to click via the Playlistify Directory from ‘tag’ to ‘tag’ (eg. all playlists tagged ‘jazz’) or view all playlists featuring artist ‘XYZ’ (e.g. all playlists featuring Miles Davis).
And a bit over a week ago I launched The Map, which makes it possible to see where playlists originally came from and discover new music on a geographic basis. That weekend also saw the light of the tagcloud.
But I am really hyper hyper about the all new searchfield, present on all pages:

Check out the results for:
The search functionality of the Playlistify Directory is powered by the opensource Sphinx Search Engine, a great, fast and rather easy to implement search engine, with php API endpoint to easy build upon!
