Search Enabled
Site search now sits on the right sidebar, just below the navigation. JavaScript is required for the search form, but those who don’t or can’t use JavaScript should see the Non-JavaScript Friendly Search link thanks to the noscript element.
For those who are wondering why I provide a search domain option: I wanted to use the power of Movable Type’s Public Search for my weblogs (Joshua Kaufman’s Weblog, Elsewhere and Web Simple (Update: The Web Simple project is over.)), but that left me with a considerable chunk of non-weblog pages that weren’t searchable. So I decided to also incorporate AtomZ’s free search service to search the non-weblog pages. Did you know that you can exclude directories or pages from AtomZ Search? Neither did I until I looked for it. Kudos to AtomZ for providing such a great service for free.
Now I can do fun things like find out that I’ve typed “usability” 36 times on my weblog, but mentioned Jakob Nielson only 8 times. Tweaks to the search results are forthcoming. As always, feedback is encouraged.
