Yep. All in good time. As the jobs list grow, the search functionality will grow to match.

To follow up on this and what Steve's mentioned elsehwere, the locaation stuff is a prime example of the kind of thing we have in mind for future developments where we feel other sites lack.

Right now though this is just a minimal feature set. At midnight last night when I looked at 'add filtering to the search options' on my todo list I decided that with only a handful of jobs on launch day, this can wait. I guarantee though there will be better search filtering by the time the number of jobs has grown enough to warrant that.

That's great! I understand this was not top priority before having hundreds of job offers displayed. Just, as I am searching for a new job, it is really painful for me to have to check the offer, check the company name, go on it's website, find the office address, go on google maps, check where it is precisely then go on TFL to check how much time it would take me to go to work. A map as airbnb's or hipmunk for hotel would be so cool, but I can understand not a lot of people really search a job in a specific radius based on transportation time.

Day 1 and there's jobs listed in Newcastle upon Tyne, Huddersfield and Birmingham. I'm absolutely gobsmacked. More of this please. It looks like you're already aware, but just to re-inforce the point: once the number of jobs is too large to comfortably browser, then for people outside of London, sites like this will live or die based on their location specific search. (Around here, Jobserve is a big deal for precisely that reason - they eventually even managed to distinguish between Newcastle upon Tyne and Newcastle-under-Lyme.)
