New Tadka for delicious makes it delightful!

Delicious the social bookmarking tool has been a pioneer and poster boy for the social applications powering the web2.0. I have been a huge fan of this site since long and birdsIview has had few posts featuring delicious.
One major reason for Delicious's success is support for bookmark tagging which allows users to quickly locate the bookmarks they have saved. Tagging also allows aggregation of social data into very useful and exciting information. Over time bookmark search function has seen a lot of improvement such as Browser toolbar based search, director etc.
Recently delicious announced new exciting updates in the search interface which are quite an improvement.
New Search features include (see figure):

1. Time Filters allow to filter results based on time,
2. Delicious Trends Graph allows to visualize bookmarking trends for an item during the time interval.
3. Tag filters This allows to filter results by adding specified tag to the search. This is an improvement over existing tag filter feature taking a leaf from the browser based search interface.
4. Enhanced search suggestion implement a Google -Suggest like ajax suggestion facility.
5. Result Thumbnails supplies previews for search results drawn from a number of popular websites.
6. Tweeter Support.
   

Delicious Wishlist
These new delicious features are quite exciting and useful. However I believe that there scope for improvement in few areas such as:

1. Search result sorting based on:

• Number of times it has been bookmarked.
• Date of bookmarks.
• Users or networks
