Nice looking site! Just some things I noticed:

-when I search, it's not automatically filtered by date

-when I search "woodlands" I get 0 results but when I search "the woodlands" I get 85, none of which are http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/events/americas/ironman/tex...

-I have no idea what SPR, OLY, and CUS are and when I mouse over them it doesn't tell me anything

But, I'll definitely show this to my more active friends; nicely done!

Sweet, thanks for the feedback. CTO is constantly tweaking the search so we can make it as "free form" as possible. We're trying to get away from "filter drop down" hell

Check out Elasticsearch as a search index. It does a pretty good job of full text searches, and it's free. I use it for a lot of my projects, and I think it's one of the better ones out there. Let me know if I can help! Good luck!

Yup, we use ES and love it! Thanks for the offering, I'll let philipDS know if he hits any stumbling blocks to get in touch.

Great looking site!

This item: https://www.competehub.com/races/tri-for-the-y-sprint-2014 The data is all wacky: 1) The gmaps swim tab is in Germany, 2) The Logistics > Start location is on Long Island.

(I happen to live right near that race)

Whoa, ya that's the swim for Ironman St. Pölten in Austria! Ha!

Fixing it right now. Thanks for the feedback!
