Search (beta) is here!
Ok, I’ve finished the first version of Hngry search. Now when you’re traveling, you can search for the city & state that you’re in, or just by state, and hngry will give you a list of the restaurants in that area, complete with ratings, reviews by other Hngry members (if you’d like to review a restaurant in your list, just click on the pencil icon on the side of it to go into edit mode, then just put your review in the section provided), maps to the restaurants (you’ll see a little car on the side of the restaurant listing for those that include directions). The best part is, you don’t even have to log in to use the search! This means that if you’re in another town trying to find something good to eat, you can just go to hngry.com/search and search quickly, right from there.
I’m still working on it, so the format might be changing a bit to include more info, like usernames, so you can find other hngry users in your town or in other cities, pricing, food types and more! You’ll be able to add a restaurant to your list from the search results, and you’ll also be able to search by more than just city/state and sort the restaurants by different criteria as well.
Basically, search isn’t done, not by a long shot, but I wanted to get this feature out so you can play with it and hopefully get even more use out of Hngry.
If Hngry is helpful to you, please invite your friends to use it as well… it would mean a lot to me. Oh, and if you know any restaurant owners personally, tell them to email eat at hngry dot com. I’ve got something really special in the works for restaurant owners that will hopefully make Hngry more useful for everyone.

It would be cool if eventually the search results were connected with more information like average score, tags, ect

Hey David-
Those are definitely some of the criteria I plan on pulling into the search results in the future.
Thanks!
