We get asked to find old posts for folks often enough that I conclude the following not to be common knowledge. So, I share.
Google has a terrific feature that lets you search sites. Basically, you just enter whatever terms you want to search, applying normal search rules, then a space, then site:{blog URL}. As simple as that.
So it looks like this. If I want to find that post that has something to do with paper pastors, and know that's an exact phrase in the post, I would do and receive the following:
If you enclose in quotation-marks, it will search the exact phrase. If you don't, it will search all the words. Just like normal Googling.
You're welcome. And thank you!
PS — I've now added a link to this on the Sidebar. Because otherwise, one day you'll think, "I want to find an old Pyro article. Let's see... they did a post on how to do that once... um... somewhere..."
