Integrating My New Search Engine

A few weeks ago I realized that I needed to step it up a notch in my navigation efforts. A problem that I was having was that I could not locate older posts as quickly as I wanted to... and with that the thought of my website visitors not finding the information that they needed as quickly as they'd like, or worse yet not at all, came to mind.

So, to correct this problem, I spent the greater part of this past weekend implementing a search engine into my website, specifically into the top-banner of every page (including my Blog and Directory). Now, with a couple of key-strokes, I, website visitors, and Blog readers can search for any and all content that resides on my site (excluding the directory for time being).

A quick "thanks" to Peter Roebuck, of team All Web, for his assistance with the back-end / server-side set-up. Obviously without his help I wouldn't have been able to integrate such a feature.

A quick note... a few bugs may still exist in regards to the indexing of the site as well as with the relevance of the results, but they will be addressed shortly. Please feel free to mess around with this new search feature, and if you do I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Before I go... I leave you with the following questions:

What are you doing to improve your website?

What are you doing to help your visitors in finding the information that they are searching for?
