Searching your blog for a word or a phrase in Blogger's navbar (or from Blogger's sidebar search gadget) generates a dynamic page of those posts that include the search phrase.
The results of this search take the familiar form of all of Blogger's dynamic pages: posts, spilling automatically into archived pages if needed.
Unlike other dynamic pages, however, the default order is "by relevance," as determined by some undocumented algorithm. There is a link to sort the posts into the familiar reverse chronology.
| « Static pages | Index | Header, title & tagline » |
If you use Google Custom Search, then (unless you pay $US100) you will have AdSense ads displayed on the search results. The good news is that if you're an AdSense publisher, then these can be YOU ads, which is A Good Thing all round.
ReplyDeletenote: Mary's well-taken comment from 2011 describes "Google custom search," an option I once recommended in this post. Today, built-in search is much improved, so I deleted that recommendation (but not Mary's comment).
DeleteIt is still worth knowing about Custom Search, though.
Mary, those are both very good points, thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy experience with Google Search as a sidebar widget (on my other blog) has been a bit different, however. I get no ads from searches there.
I suppose Google could change that at any time, though.
By the way: Mary has a blog devoted to blogger tips of all kind that might be of interest to anyone who reads Too Clever.
