JU's Search Feature Rocks!

Published on March 10, 2008 By foreverserenity In Blogging

Yes, I wanted you to know, it works (first time I tried it when looking for a particular article) and it rocks!

You just have to be specific with what you're searching for. Much like Google, you can use one or two words, phrases and walla!

Thanks for including this in the new set up. It was one of the features I asked for!

See, it's not all about whining you know!

Heh, I like that myself. I hate not remembering where articles were...so just type in a few words of it you remember and bam!

Hell, I think it searches comments too.

It's just like Google huh? Imagine that!

The search is powered by the Google Custom Search Engine product. We knew we'd never be able to do a search feature that good so we went to the pros! The only down-side is there's a delay between when a new article is posted, and when it will be searchable. Just have to wait for google to reindex us (they do it once a day or more on average).

It indexes/searches all content on the site. Posts, comments, forums etc.

I'm glad to hear people have noticed and are liking the new search. It was one of the bits of the site I was responsible for (not placing it on the page, but selecting it, defining the search parameters, configuring the service).

Good job! It makes everything a lot easier, thank you! I not only found the article I was looking for, it gave me every article that mentioned a word, phrase or sentence! Terrific!

I did see Google pop up!
