PeekYou, the people search engine created by the people behind RateMyProfessors, has released some new features on its site. The search engine and profile aggregator is currently in public beta. Read the initial write up here.
First up is a redesign, aimed at better site navigation. More importantly, some custom features have been added to its search capabilities, to help you filter through your search and find the exact person you’re looking for. You can combine several search fields, looking up a person by any combination of their user name, first or last name, interests, school or place of employment. This lets you include a bit more than what most other people search engines will offer, and gives you more options for searching, based on whatever information you have. An example PeekYou offers for this type of search would be that the person you’re looking for never worked for Microsoft, didn’t go to Harvard, and has nothing to do with bungee jumping.
Included in all this are features like the location tool, which breaks down search results within a particular geographical location. Narrow your finding based on country, state/province, and city. Expanding on some of its existing filtering tools, PeekYou will also show the most popular tags for any search result. RSS feed integration has been added to your options for profile creation, letting you import blog updates and images from Wordpress, Twitter, Blogger, Flickr and Picassa.

PeekYou：为搜“人”引擎推出了新改良的功能
PeekYou，由RateMyProfessors幕后人创建的搜“人”网站，现在推出了一些新的功能。搜索引擎和个人信息聚合器目前正在公测中。欲知详情，请看这里。
首先进行了重新设计，旨在打造更好的网站导航。更重要的是，一些风俗特点已经被加入了搜索引擎中，以帮助你通过你的搜索，然后找到你要找的那个人。你可以把几个搜索领域相结合起来，通过他们用户名的任何结合（名字或者姓氏、兴趣、学校或者上班的地方）来查找你想找的那个人。它比其他的搜人引擎提供的更多一点是，基于你所拥有的任何信息，它为你的搜索提供了更多的选项。对此PeekYou提供了一个这种类型的搜索例子，可能你要找的那个从人来没有在微软工作过，也没有在哈佛上学，更没有玩过蹦级跳。
所有的这些都像是定位工具的特征，打破了搜索结果在一个特定的地理学位置内。以国家、州/省、以及城市来缩小你的搜索范围。衍生一些现有的过滤工具，PeekYou对任何搜索结果，都会向你展示最热门的关键字。RSS阅读综合器为个人信息的创建添加了你的选项，让你从Wordpress、Twitter、Blogger、Flickr和Picassa中，更新你的博客和图片。
