You may have noticed that lately it's been easier to find what you're looking for when searching on orkut. For example, when you search for a person, we now show people in your network or country at the top of the results list , and we also suggest other terms if we think you've misspelled something. We're always looking to improve search on okrut, which is why we just launched some new search filters that we hope will further aid your searches. Here's how search filters work:
Say you are trying to find a person you met yesterday, but you can't remember his or her complete name. As always, you can type in what you remember of the person's name and hit search. After that, you can refine your search by applying the filters that appear on the right side of our search page. You might start by restricting the search to the languages you speak or the country you're in. To get even better results, try restricting by gender, age, relationship status, children or sexual preference. The more filters you combine, the more specific results will you get.
If you're searching for a community, you can now refine your results to communities that focus on only one specific category. This may help you find what you're looking for faster.

How To Skip m.Orkut.com When Surfing Orkut from Mobile
I frankly don't love the mobile version of orkut since it is not efficient and is packed with very basic features. Couple of days back, i wished to check my scraps and my favorite communities on the go. While on mobile, orkut.com redirected to m.orkut.com. It was inefficient and looks under developed. I tried images.orkut.com which too redirected to m.orkut.com. Finally, i resorted to the last option and it worked. I could surf the no-mobile-version of orkut from my mobile.

Orkut Officially Introduces Keyboard Shortcuts for Orkut
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. We know that for visually impaired users, it can be difficult to navigate through orkut using a mouse to point and click on various links. In order to make orkut more accessible to all users, we recently added accesskeys for some commonly used links on orkut. With accesskeys, you no longer need to click your mouse to visit different pages on orkut. For example, if you are using IE, when you press "alt + s", the focus is moved to the "Scrapbook" link at the top of the page. Pressing "enter" will then take you to your scrapbook page.
Please note that different browsers use different control key combinations for accesskeys. On Netscape Navigator and Mozilla Firefox, "alt + shift + s" should take you directly to your scrapbook (you don't need to press "enter"). Similarly, if you hold down "alt+shift," simply press "h" for home, "p" for profile, "b" for friends, "c" for communities, "l" for logout. Almost all browsers support this feature, so please consult your browser manual to find the right key combination for your browser. Permalink
