Scott Andrew - lo-fi acoustic pop superhero!

Okay, so after much fiddling and tweaking and turning of levers, I’ve implemented a beta site search for scottandrew.com. You can search the text of my weblog posts, or optionally you can search the metadata, which is a series of keywords I enter for a unique post (which defaults to the post title when I’m lazy. I’m often lazy.). Search results will include the metadata and a link to the primary category of each matching post. I have a bit of work to do on the search functionality; specifically, I want to have it search my non-weblog content, like the articles and tutorials I’ve written, and I need it to do AND/OR search constructs, and I want search request logging so I can see what you people are most interested in. The core MT Search code was written by Jay Allen who’s currently cavorting across Europe, which doesn’t make me envious at all, nooo.

I’ve also expanded the category archives greatly, which should give me more flexibility in classifying posts. I’m slowly importing my earlier Blogger-formatted archives into Movable Type so the search engine can index them as well.

Of course, the reason for all this is so you, Gentle Reader, can more easily find relevant and related information on this site.
