    Hi,

    I love MapMyRun and it has really re-energized my fitness training. However unless I've not found them, the "SEARCH FOR RUNS" features could use a few improvements. Today it is moderately useful as one either gets 0 matches or is overwhelmed by too many matches with no further drill-down tools.

    What I'd like to see:

    More criteria for search

    - ex distance range (all runs between 7 and 12 k)

    - search on run / hike / bike... If I'm running, I don't care for a 120km cycle route (and vis versa)

    - search on the tags that one applies to the route when creating it (Park, Flat, Hilly, etc...)

    - *** SEARCH / RESULTS ON A MAP! ***This should be possible with GoogleMaps. Why not Map all the starting points of the runs ? That makes it much easier to find a run close to where I am / where I will be without knowing what location/name the route creator chose.

    - Ability to sort and refine results. Sort ascending/descending on all criteria.[update - this is possible on the existing criteria by clicking on the "column head". Two little triangles for "up"/"down" would make it clearer though...] Show most popular. Show most recently entered into a training log.

    - etc...

     

    Anybody else thinks the search function could use an energy bar?

    If you're creating or looking at a route, you can search the map from that location to find other routes, and you can also limit your hits to a certain distance range.  It's under "Find", then click "Show Public Routes on Map".  It would also be nice, like you said, to search for tags or search just for runs.
