The Search is on, powered by KinoSearch
In between the “real” coding I did this weekend, I found a bit of time to finally hack on this site’s search and now, lo and behold! you have a search box on the sidebar. Yay!
The search is powered by KinoSearch (a system I had already talked about previously) and I must say I’m as impressed now as I was when I first tried it out.
Not only is it fast, but it is also ridiculously easy to work with. I still want to add a few functionalities to the site and I expect each new addition to take all of oh… 10 minutes or so to be hooked up to the search function. :-)
True, it takes up a bit of disk space but then “disk space is cheap” and you do get your space’s worth with stuff like lightning fast searching with highlighting. And no, you don’t feel the speed all that much, but that’s entirely my plugin’s code fault. It still needs a bit of love before it responds as it should.
Now let’s see how it holds up to the test of real-world usage. I’m pretty confident it will do nicely.

Loose weight they say…
“You should loose weight” they say. “It’ll be good for you!” they say. “You’ll thank yourself later” they say. “It’s the healthy thing to do” they say.
And sou you do it and you keep on doing it even a little bit beyond that. And then you’re in tip top shape.
And then you have to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe because your clothes don’t freaking fit you anymore. Argh!
Not that I have anything against new clothes (I don’t have anything special for them either) but the shopping… Actually going out to stores, trying out clothes, marking up all the changes that need to be done, having to go back and get them after the changes have been done and trying them out again…
