Etiolated.org Updates

[lyger <lyger () attrition org>]

(I strongly encourage all list subscribers to check out this site.  This 
is what we *hoped* could be done with attrition's data loss dataset.  The 
initial site went live in nine days and is now less than three weeks old.)

Etiolated.org Changes/Enhancements

== Search ==

Search functionality has been drastically expanded, utilizing a lucene-like 
backend.

Searches can be as complicated as:

org_type:Edu AND org_type:Med AND date:[20060401 TO 20070528] AND
records:[1000 TO *]

Which would get you a list of all breaches at educational institutions 
associated with medicine that occurred between march 1st, 2006 and may 28th, 
2007 with lost records totaling over 1000.

For a detailed list of options see http://www.etiolated.org/research

== Custom RSS Feeds ==

Each search now produces a custom RSS feed.  For example, for an RSS feed of 
all educational institution breaches, search for:

org_type:Edu

And in the header of the results table that follows, you'll see the feed icon 
that links to the custom RSS feed.

== Custom Search-based Graphs ==

Any search you run can now have a dynamically generated graph produced based on 
the results.

Run a search like those above, click on "Graph Results", choose a title for 
your graph, set a couple simple parameters, and you'll have your search results 
in a very visual way.  Right click the graph, save as, and use the image as you 
please.  Images won't persist, so if you intend to link to it you are better 
off saving it someplace where it won't vanish.

== Coming Soon ==

See breaches pinpointed on a pretty map!
