Well, I finally finished sifting through the thousand-odd Blogger entries I imported to MT a few months ago, cleaning up titles and giving them all categories. Whoosh!<\/p>\n

That lets me get into my next project: revamping the search functionality for my blog.<\/p>\n

I originally used Atomz search, but that has a limit of 500 pages. Then I upgraded to PicoSearch, but that pegs out at 1,500 pages.<\/p>\n

I have 2,400-odd pages. I’ll give a big announcement when I hit 2,500.<\/p>\n

(Atomz and PicoSearch are both very fine tools, and the limits I mention are for free levels of service, not their pay service. As well, it’s partly my fault for archiving my entries on single pages. So be it.)<\/p>\n

On my Archive\/Search page, I’ve long had an alternative search set up with MT-Search, a plug-in that can be found here<\/a>. Hey presto, there’s a new version out, though the programmer has passed the whole kit-n-kaboodle over to the Trotts for (one hopes) inclusion in the next version of MT.<\/p>\n

So I’ll be working to get the new MT-Search (which has no page limit, since it hits against the database) working ASAP, so that I can pull out the obsolete PicoSearch code. Hopefully the new version has some better output tags in it, since that’s been my biggest bitch about MT-Search. We’ll see.<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/u>: MT Search is up an running. Coolness, I hope. And, after all, all the best bloggers <\/a>do it …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
