This is exactly right, I labeled the "Search" button as "Preview Results..." and I made the preview page ugly. Reason being, I'm trying to nudge people away from using it as a search engine (rather than an RSS/email alerts service).
The technical reason for this is that the data I'm ingesting is also feed-based, and if I do try to incorporate older results I end up with a lot of expired posts and duplicates (people repost the same job reqs to keep them at the top of the results). If I made it into a full-fledged "search engine" I would need to spin up an ElasticSearch cluster and then my hosting costs go up.
You are a genius Patriot Pede! Such a great resource for all your Patriot family. I saved it on my phone homepage and will share with like minded frens.
How cool!!!
agreed nice idea... is there a browse or search function or is it purely an alert/notification system?
Looks like you can fill out form and click Preview Results if you don't want to provide an email address.
