…a good search engine for this blog. OK, I’m not really that desparate, but until I can figure out a better month-long archive scheme, I have found myself frustrated by trying to find something I’ve written, after less than three months of posting!
Since I’m lazy, I will read Tim Bray’s series on full-text search, just beginning with background now, and (maybe) then I’ll see if the solution he comes up with is something a non-geek can implement. Otherwise I’ll resort to the Google box like most others. I’ve already changed my robots.txt so that this blog is indexed by polite spiders. I’ll have to see how much extra spider traffic that generates.
Do you remember the TV show “In Search Of…”? If you do, you’re at least a contemporary, maybe older. Except that now the classic Leonard Nimoy-hosted shows run on the History channel. TV never dies, it just finds a new outlet.
