Facebook's API today does not have a way to search Photos (photos.get), Events (events.get), or Groups (groups.get) among others. Instead, you can retrieve information on photos, events, or groups based on a group ID or a specific user ID. See http://developers.facebook.com/tools.php to for Facebook's interactive SDK.
The goal here would be to add both generic Search APIs (search all photos, events, groups) in an application so long as the data is public as well as contextual search APIs (search photos, events, groups in the context of a user).
Ex: Search all photos for comments with the text "lol" or Search my photos for "lol" photos.
Right now, it looks like the Marketplace (marketplace.search) is the only generic search API call in Facebook's API.
The other addition would be to have a way to search Facebook's Data Store API - http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Data_Store_API_documentation

I really wish I could go to PDC... Is there still some sort of plan for a send-a-niner-to-PDC contest?
LOL! Nice pics, Dan. Photo credit to Ari Bixhorn.
BTW - I'm sending this from a satellite link in Torres del Paines national park in Chile. They are about to shut off power to the entire building because they turn off the generator at 11 p.m. It's really cool because you can see every star in the sky when they do that, but it does make it impossible to remain connected to the Interweb.
I had a hard time viewing more than a few minutes of the show on this connection but from what I saw it looks like Nick filled in nicely for me - nice job, Nick!
And shutting off generator in 3... 2... 1...

This has a lot of client-side interaction for which silverlight would have been perfect. Even though Visual Studio 2008 is very helpful for debugging JavaScript code, i would have preferred C#.

Hey Jesse,
The problem is that we use the laptops to navigate the show slides and videos as we can't actually see what we're talking about without them. If we didn't have laptops, I think we'd be looking behind us at the TV all episode which would probably be just as distracting.
