Social Media: A Completely Rebuilt Search Tool with New Features Debuts on Tumblr

Along with the launch of the rebuilt search tool Tumblr also announced their database now contains more than 65 million posts.
Here’s a List With Some of the New Features (via Tumblr Staff Blog)

• You can now use multiple #tags in a single query to find all that #hello kitty #nail art.

• Searching for “government shutdown” now returns posts tagged #government shutdown or that mention ”government shutdown”. Searching “#government shutdown” will limit the results to posts with that #tag.

• You’ll now see related blogs in your search results.

• Use the new Filter menu to filter by post type!

• And in an effort to make the explicit content filter more transparent (and less confusing), we’ve moved the option right to the search results page. 

Coverage

From PC Week:

The [65 million post] milestone comes after Tumblr back in March crossed the 45 billion post mark. At this point, Tumblr is home to some 143 million blogs, according to Tumblr’s “About” page, up from 100 million earlier this year.
