Reverse search would be nice to have as well. I had an Indian friend once tell me, he just wanted to talk to women who were interested in Indian guys. The reason niche dating sites exist is because people want to search in more refined pools of people with various specific lifestyles, cultures, religions and preferences. But if search were more powerful, niche sites wouldn't be needed.

Huh?! *me scratching my head* So let me get this right, your friend would find as many or more singles interested in dating Indians on a generalist site than on a niche Indian site if simply the search utility was more powerful? In most cases, you're dead wrong. People join a niche site (lifestyle, religion, ethnicity, etc.) b/c it is more focused and/or authentic. I assure you that you will find more Indian singles, and non Indians attracted to the culture/people on any of the top Indian sites than you will on Match, OkCupid, etc.
