Search Your Waves
Google Wave - a huge storage for constantly updated information, but it is absolutely useless as long as you have not learned how to properly and quickly find the information you need.

If you want to find waves that contain, for example, the word "cake" or "coat", insert the words Sozomen "or." And if you want to find all waves that contain both words, enter them into the search box just separated by a space.
If you want to find a phrase, include it in quotes ( ""). This also works well for proper names. For example, when searching for "Joss Whedon" search does not give you a single wave with "Joss" and "Whedon".
