Refining the search capability...
A few minutes spent modifying my search script has resulted in the following changes:
1) Searches are now case insensitive. This broadens the scope of any query, hopefully, not to the point of uselessness.
2) Searches consisting of more than one string (e.g., "Langdon Smith") will output a list of matching posts for each string (in this case, one for "Langdon" and another for "Smith"). This will have to do until I revamp the code to do a proper Boolean "and" search. The prospect for doing so is complicated by my indexing scheme, which only considers strings that are four or more characters in length, or three-character strings consisting of capital letters (e.g., FBI, ISS).
Cheers...
