I was intrigued to see the number of startups and other companies listed in my hometown of Phoenix - somewhat more than I was expecting. I wish it were easier to organize the list of geographical search results, though. Specifically, I'd like to see TC posts attached to the results, or something similar to offer a sense of the "importance" or weight that each company has. I like.

I personally use it a lot to do my research and learn more about new start-ups. With the new features, it's going to be even more useful to track updates (via milestones) and contacts (via maps/etc) . Can't wait to see more features to be added in the future. I love the API idea from the comments and perhaps a "graph/chart" feature to give an overview and more meaning to these hefty data. Keep up the great work!

Boolean is fine, but it is an old technique first developed in the 1960s for text retrieval but it is inferior compared to modern techniques such as LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) which is the state of the art today. In metric for searches, it matters much if the capability for recall (ie, the fraction of the documents that are relevant to the query that are successfully retrieved) is high. LSI has higher recall than Boolean. If you need to be pointed out about resources (open source APIs, publications) on LSI, then I am happy to point you out in the right direction of where to look.
