Trulia beats Redfin to keyword search

Trulia has added keyword search joining Estately and a few others in offering it. I really like keyword search and use it on Estately to subscribe to a RSS feed of new loft listings in Seattle. Unfortunately it consistently is ranked low by our customers as a feature they want relative to other features we might work on which is why we haven’t done it yet. Hopefully we get to it by the end of 2008.
