I learned something on Brad Anderson's blog here: Active Rain Settings & SEO Benefits - Very Powerful -- something about finding stuff here on Active Rain.
Usually, when I want to search for information here on AR, I go to the bloghome page, and click search, like this:
Which gives me a simple search box , like below. I often grumbled about the absence of any "advanced" search features:
After reading Brad Anderson's post I learned there is, in fact, an "advanced" search tool. It looks like this (below) and it is found ONLY by going to this URL http://activerain.com/blogs
Note to Active Rain designers: Why not make the advanced search function also accessible from the bloghome page?
UPDATE: Nope, this advanced search still isn't the answer. It doesn't include a keyword search.
Example: Suppose I want to find Brian Brady's post "Don't Mess With My Monks" from January .... well, wouldn't it be cool to be able to search by Brian's name and the keyword "monks"? Alas, I think Brian has deleted the post anyway, which is too bad.
Cheryl, it would be great to have that feature. thank you for sending out the message.
