Testing Times

Boring technical type entry.

I've added a search facility to the blog. It's still in the testing phase at the moment. I might have to do a few things to it, to get it to do what I want, so I can get all my permanent links indexed not just the ones on this page. The engine I've used allows multiple URLs, so I've not only indexed the blog, I've added the Nice Nostalgia Archive too.

A word of warning though if you decide to do this yourself. Be careful how you set these things up. At first I tried connecting the NNA index to the blog index through the sidebar link but it ended up indexing EVERYTHING that I linked in the blog. It looked nice but used up my allocated index space rather quickly as it sucked up all those progressive links into it's database. Even resetting it didn't help. Had to delete the index and start from scratch with two different indices (I love weird plurals, that might be worth an entry in itself).

Edit: Dumped that one. Trying a different one, see if it's any better. Seems to index both URLs which is cool.
