Dave Green angrily suggested I get a fucking search feature working on this site, so I’ve done so. It’s to the left. It doesn’t work very well if you search for URLs. It tries to “highlight” the search term, and so mangles any thing inside a tag, but I can’t work out a way of fixing that without parsing HTML.
One nice spin off, though, is that now my RSS feed does searches too. So if you want to keep an updated list of all entries where I mention the word “BBC”, say, you can subscribe to http://www.oblomovka.com/rss.php3?q=BBC and you’ll get just that.
I have a feeling that sooner or later, I’ll wish I optimised that code.
