Searching for people, classified advertisements and events now works. You will notice that other parts of the search interface appear to search for places in SL rather than Ocean Grid. This is a viewer setting and can be altered to search within OpenSim grids, although Ocean Grid is not listed, so for the time being no instructions will be given. You should be able to create classified advertisements and events (including when logged in on the web site), although on such a small grid this may be rather pointless at present, especially given the lack of working currency.

Searching for people, however, is quite useful. Searching by place may work, but at present it does not return results, perhaps due to a lack of data. Further testing may reveal whether this also works.
