I think what she referred to with the search in that particular instance was a site they had where you had to choose which country you where from on the first page. Similar to how certain global e-commerce sites work. Thing is, that list grew to 160 different countries (Yahoo!) and then the search can be built almost like a ticket machine where you start to type the first letter. With countries, you'll get a very reasonable selection of links if you just enter "sw" in the search.
Flexiscale are using either Xen or OpenVZ, and we already can use OpenVZ to do the live migration you're describing... except we currently only do it for clients, but our own internal one is not far away.
Some more blurbs:

BTW, if they support Windows as well, then obviously they run it on Xen. There are good reasons why we're not venturing into that, and if you care, ask me in person.
"Navigation links are over-rated. Use search instead!" ... that is if search does NOT suck on ones site, which is still not that common. E.g. Reddit's search sucks balls, period. Googling with "site:www.domain.com" is in 90% cases better than domaon.com's built in search and half of the remaining cases are only that good because they embed actual google search themselves.
