Thank you for sharing this Alan. It is another example of why wide reading is helpful. I have been tinkering with different ways of searching my site for a while. I know that I could use Google Custom Search and a
raft of other methods, however I wanted to avoid all that. Therefore, I still use the good old www.example.com/?s= method, with
some extra code to expand the search. What
your bookmarklet now allows me to do is easily search from anywhere without opening the site first or going to ‘search’, although I removed the
index.php
and replaced this with
?s=
.
In regards to itches, I would still like the ability to search for content associated with particular tags, this is what happens when you start using WordPress as a commonplace book. That this granny is happy enough for now.
