Foursquare lists are great! Now if only you could search within them...
I love the new Lists feature that Foursquare rolled out today. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any native way to search through lists for stuff I’d like to discover. Until Foursquare rolls out a search function (or decides to restrict this hack), I threw together a Google Custom Search Engine that should do the trick. Try it out with something simple like coffee.
Of course, results quality is hit or miss. The results will likely improve as more lists are added and Google indexes them. Also, I tweaked the engine to omit results deriving from auto-generated “Tips” lists. Results are thus restricted to those lists actively created by users.
