 I was commenting on another journal re: timeline software for authors, and was trying to figure out just what keywords I'd have to use to try to track down the journal entry where I fantasized about my cadillac-version timeline software for plotting novels. (I came up with some elaborate user specs.) Fourteen years of LJ/Dreamwidth entries! And no useful index. Tags don't really work for topics like "writing process" when you want to find something specific.

https://www.dreamwidth.org/search and search for "cadillac" or "timeline"?

I've been frustrated for a long time by Dreamwidth search. It seems to be designed to find "any post by anyone, ever, vaguely related to topic X", but not for "a post or comment that I know that user Y made on topic X".

There is the paid account ability to search your own journal, but yes, the general site search is rather...ah, Antiquated. (I think we tend to go with 'Brad, in his dorm room, with the lead pipe' when we run into code like that.)

(I'm support, you've given me a Thing while I wait for my notebook to update Ubuntu.)

It's a good service and that is what pays to keep the lights on.

Hurrah, no ads!

Me too; in fact, I thought I had, years ago, but my profile says "Free account".
