They've managed to get more images from DigitalGlobe of the drift area, but now need help looking through the pictures. If you've got some free time, you might be able to help save some lives.

I just wish I could tweak the individual conditions to see where it'd get me... like having all criteria match except genre.

This seems to be the point of this Herd It game: they've released a beta search engine that lets you find music using words - like genres, instruments, emotions etc. It seems to build it's results from the collective intelligence of all the people who play the Herd It game as well as music analyzing algorithms. You have to sign up for an invite on the Herd It game page.

It doesn't have a lot of words yet (maybe 100 or more). I searched for "funk", "horn section" and "at a party" and got James Brown and Rick James - not bad. But "romantic jazz saxophone" gave Chet Baker and Miles Davis - seems like it can't tell a sax from a trumpet.
