We’re happy to announce that after many many member requests, we have added search to the site so that stuff is more findable. You can get users, tabblos, or photos by text, tag, or name. Please help us give it a whirl.

Exciting though it is on its own, the really great improvement to Tabblo this week around search is the ability to find other stuff on the site that you can directly add to your own lightbox to help with your story-telling. Every search result that matches a photo has an “Add to lightbox” link (as does every photos-only page) that will conveniently add the photo to your lightbox for the purposes of using it in your own tabblos. Of course you need to have permission to use the photo in the first place, but one of the most exciting things to us about Tabblo community is how willing to share content you all are.

And when you do use someone else’s photos in your tabblos, they will receive props at the footer of your tabblo where the “photo credits” line goes along with a link back to their own profile page. A common theme among some of the most requested set of features on the site is better tools for collaboration on Tabblo, and we’re hoping that the nearly ubiquitous “add to the lightbox” link and the new photo credits are steps in that direction.

From sunsets to airplanes to just about anything else you can find on Tabblo, making stuff is very fun when you’ve got such great starting materials.
