I've played with it a bit. Try:

(“Steph Booth” | “Stephanie Booth” | “Stéphanie Booth” | “Stéph Booth” | uri:climbtothestars.org | uri:steph.wordpress.com | “climb to the stars” | climbtothestars | uri:flickr.com/photos/36521983709@N01 | uri:flickr.com/photos/bunny | uri:steph.suprglu.com) AND NOT source:flickr.com/photos/36521983709@N01 AND NOT source:flickr.com/photos/bunny AND NOT source:steph.suprglu.com AND NOT source:climbtothestars.org AND NOT source:steph.wordpress.com

At this time, there are two issues, one of which we are well aware of.

1) We are currently delivering content to users that don't match queries (see: http://sandbox.pubsub.com/blog/?p=45. We are working on the and hope to resolve it as soon as possible.

2) I don't think that our system is noticing a difference between source: and uri:. In looking at a search that I run for my name, it is picking up on my blog (even though I've asked it not too). I'm going to look into this as well.

Thanks for your patience.

(“Steph Booth” OR “Stephanie Booth” OR “Stéphanie Booth” OR “Stéph Booth” OR uri:climbtothestars.org or uri:steph.wordpress.com or “climb to the stars” or climbtothestars or uri:flickr.com/photos/36521983709@N01 or uri:flickr.com/photos/bunny or uri:steph.suprglu.com) and (not(source:flickr.com/photos/36521983709@N01 or source:flickr.com/photos/bunny or source:steph.suprglu.com or source:climbtothestars.org or source:steph.wordpress.com))

unfortunately it still seems to show me stuff from climbtothestars.org, and more surprisingly includes http://johnsy.com/blog/?entry=20060128231117 and http://classictv.about.com/b/a/240796.htm — not the faintest idea what it's matching there!

The sidebar still doesn't seem to highlight, though. And is there a way to access more “history”, older links?

I didn't know about the uri: syntax. That's pretty neat. I'll try it straight away and give the sidebar another chance.

One thing that would be really great is the ability to rule out some blogs (for example, I'm not at all interested in tracking keywords or links from my own blogs). Is there any way to do this in PubSub currently?
