MyBlogLog Search and You Shall MyBlogLog Find

Magnify Steve has been working with some proprietary Yahoo technology to serve up better search results on MyBlogLog.com. The fruits of his labor are now complete and you can enjoy said fruits by using the search box in the header up top on the site. For an example of what we can find, check out this search for knitting. It never ceases to amaze me how many knitting communities there are on MyBlogLog!

I'm tagging this post as a "bug fix" because the search results that we had before were kind of hit-or-miss. But now things are smoking! Not only is search fast, it's also much more accurate. We search across several fields:

  • Members - screen name, nickname, member ID, and tags
  • Communities - display name, site name, site ID, site URL, and tags

The index supports alternate spelling (color and colour) so you can be sure to get both results.

We'll be adding more features (including support for UTF8) over the next week so stay tuned. As always, let us know via the Contact Form if you see anything out of whack.
