I tried the OnRez browser out for a few minutes/laps around virtual New York, and it seemed to work pretty well, I used an alt so I didn’t have all my stuff etc to test anything, it was slow with about 50 or 60 avatars across the four sims, but it could’ve been my connection as well. The search worked much like the OnRez guys said it would, you type in what you are searching for and up pops the results page almost exactly like the one in the Second Life viewer, with the tabs along the top. It defaults to using the all tab, so, most searches will probably have to be performed twice, once intially and then once in the proper tab, but I will do some more testing when I get a chance to play with the browser some more.
