As discussed here, search is absolutely vital to me for the long-term usefulness of a social website. Part of what makes tweeting particularly compelling to me is that their excellent search means that I can feel confident that I'm adding to an easily-accessed personal archive of things I care about.
I understand that there are some concerns around searching more broadly, but full-text search (and ideally advanced search operators for date ranges, media attachments, exact string matching, and shares) for one's own archive seems uncontroversial.
