Unhappy with the results offered by that crummy Technorati "search" feature, I have taken another step past the point of no return with Google by adding their custom search tool, part of the cool Google Co-op initiative. My testing showed that it actually gave accurate results, and in the familar Googley way. (In fact, after five minutes of fruitless searching, I used the search to find in about five seconds the old post to which I link above.)
Right now, the search will scan Blowing & Drifting, my old blog Xferen, my joint blog After School Snack and as a free bonus, Shannon's blog Mama in Wonderland. Again, let me know how it works!
(I tried this out after Questionable recommended it - thanks, and I hope you feel better soon!)
