When I pushed out the first version of Beach G33k / Beach Ball (I'm not actually sure what the thing is called) - a search engine for beaches - I did as close to nothing in terms of features as possible. This approach to release follows the release early, release often paradigm which leverages user feedback and small iterations to help guide a service according to the user needs.
Thanks to a comment by Viliam Kanis I've now pushed out an update which does use some amount of stemming to improve searches. Thus, if you search for 'snorkeling' you will also find beaches with associated content which mentions things like 'snorkel' and 'snorkeled'.
Below is an example of a search result for 'snorkeling' which surfaces Lydgate Beach Park in Kauai.
If you are heading for Kauai or Maui in the near future, take the site for a spin.
Great work, Matthew!

In my opinion, it will be much cheaper to build a brand around "beach geek". "Beach ball" is very general and not really related to what the site plans to provide. On the other hand, I don´t know if beach lovers would describe themselves as geeks. Maybe if it was a real niche search for surfers you could use some surf lingo but it´s not...
