EVE Online Technical Director Jon Bjarnason just published an informative blog entry outlining the improvements that are coming to the Contracts system. The new Contract search feature is in beta testing on the Singularity test server, which means you can turn it off for the time being or play around with it and provide feedback to help CCP squash any bugs. The feature should go live on Tranquility as part of the main Incursion release in January.

Bjarnason explains how the new system will let you search through public contracts and also provides a list of other contract-related features and tweaks that have been added in response to player feedback. Check out his blog entry for all the details.
