WP's crippled search feature
-
Well, I have a number of series on my blog. One of them is titled “Lawlessness / Ruined.” I use to do one titled “Lawlessness” and one titled “Ruined,” until I realized that it made sense to combine them. I’m up to “Lawlessness / Ruined – part 73.” Each entry uses, I’d say, an average of 7 main news items taken from the progressive / alternative media.
I use WP’s search function in order to call up the latest, because I index my entries. I have two other series (“Avalanche Snapshots,” about censorship, and “Professional Scam Artists” that I present in the same sort of format and similarly index.) Now, although I’ve been blogging for 10 years, I can’t call up my entries. Even the word “lawlessness” returns nothing! Nicely done WordPress. I’m wondering whether I can turn off my Akismet, since, these days, everything and everyone designed to protect the people is instead attacking them.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It’s working now, but it wasn’t working. In fact, this isn’t the first time I’ve had to play around with things in order to get the search to work. I don’t know what it is that I do to job the search back to life. But, for now, you can call this case closed.

It works and then it doesn’t. I mention my series now and then in discussions I join online. I never see anyone reading the posts. I think I know why. The search feature has been ‘tweaked’ in some fashion and doesn’t work properly. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.
