Objections
Search ignored special characters like C# and C++.

Add category filtering on tags.
From 2 comments
Those tags you have, (design, content, management, etc.) make them clickable and group all those jobs under it. It at least looked like it would be that way.

Questions
What language and technologies is the site built with?
From 1 comment
I'm just starting to learn programming, and I was curious what language the website is written in? RoR? Also, what other technologies did you use?
