before starting a new project Geni recommends that you search to see if similar projects already exist. How do I search projects?

Search will be formally implemented in future releases, but a good workaround for now is to go to google.com and type in:

site:geni.com/projects <keyword>

for instance, site:geni.com/projects colonial

should give you several projects for "colonial america"

Maybe after some weeks Google will give some correct result. Now when first projects are only 14 days old are most of them not indexed.
I was testing this with discussions and forum, usually Google finds only pages/text which are more than week old...

site:geni.com/projects winthrop

Project created two days ago. I think it helps to be logged into geni at the time, I didn't test when not logged in.
