Eagle-eyed readers of this blog in its website version may have noticed a new element at the top, a search box:
There’s almost always been a way to search this blog; for the longest time it was backed by Apache Solr, and then, when I migrated to Drupal 10, I switched to using a simple database-backed search, which was slow and inflexible.
A few weeks ago I installed Meilisearch, and its module for Drupal, and now the search is both fast and flexible.
It may be that I am the only real client for this feature: I search this blog every day, both looking for things like “when did I move my printing press into The Guild” and looking for older blog posts to reference from new ones. Having an efficient way to do this feels good, like having a mainline into the timestream of my last 26 years.

I've had conversations with two different people today where we tried, without success, to remember what the new home of the Blue Mussel Café was called before it was Dayboat, so I tried your new search box and found it: Café St. Jean! Thanks for helping to fill in that blank.
