Searching Buller Time

Thanks to my brother Dan for suggesting that we add a search function to Buller Time, which you can see at the top right (above Blog Archive). This should simplify trying to find earlier postings that you want to read again in light of new information. A few things to keep in mind as you use the search function:

1. You can search for a single word, for multiple words, or even for an exact phrase enclosed within quotation marks. The search function will return what it considers the most significant results at the top, which is indicated by the results being sorted by relevance (first arrow below).



2. If you prefer, you can have the results sorted by date (maybe you want to read the posts in a certain order) by clicking the link under the second arrow.

3. Once you are finished and want to return to the normal listing of posts, click on “Show all posts” (third arrow).

4. The search function errs on the side of returning more rather than fewer results. So, for example, if you search for a precise phrase, the search function will return the post with that phrase in it as the most relevant result. Below that it will list posts with all the words of the phrase, even though they do not appear together as part of the phrase.

I hope this enhances your ability to navigate through and thus your enjoyment of Buller Time blog. Feel free to suggest other improvements as they come to mind.
