announcements.jpgAs you’ll notice just above the “Navigation” section on this site, I’ve added a “Search” function aimed at allowing you, as the title implies, to search this site for journal entries by any key word you deem relevant. For example, if you want to find a post you read some time ago but can’t recall the date or title, just enter a word or words you think are contained in the article, then key “enter” (or the little arrow to the right of your entry) and you’ll be presented with a list of entries containing that word or words.

For example, let’s say you remember an article about a sports car. Enter “sports car” or “sports” or “car Nash”, hit “enter” and shazzam, you have a list, with short excerpts, of every article I’ve posted referencing your word or words.

Simple? Give it a try. Experiment and then let me know how it’s working for you.

Oh, and yes, I realize the search box is larger than my column width and the arrow carries over to the next line. I’m working on fixing that. Meanwhile, it works fine so don’t be afraid to use it. Got the box fixed. Have fun!

And by the way, the “Archives” function still allows you to search the site by category or month…
